Martin is conducting a First Look session of ENSA program for nearly 60 attendees over the Internet. Which of the following instructional methods will be most effective for a large audience?

A webinar is an instructional method specifically designed for presenting information to a large, geographically dispersed audience over the Internet. It is a seminar conducted online. This format is highly effective for a "First Look" session as it allows a single presenter to efficiently deliver a structured presentation, share visuals like slides or demonstrations, and manage limited interaction (e.g., through a moderated Q&A) with a large number of attendees (60). It is the most scalable and appropriate method for this scenario compared to more interactive, small-group techniques.

B. Group discussion is unmanageable and ineffective with 60 attendees in a single online session, leading to chaos rather than learning.
C. This is a follow-up activity, not a primary instructional method for delivering a live "First Look" session to a group.
D. A case study is most effective with smaller groups where deep discussion and interaction are possible, which is difficult with 60 participants.
