This may well have been mentioned already but I see that webinar seems to be gaining traction as a nice new word for a web based seminar.
Interesting how words evolve.

Surely not "new"? Hasn't it been around for quite a while now?

Re: Webinar
The term "webinar" is a portmanteau of web and seminar, meaning a presentation, lecture, or workshop that is transmitted over the web. The coined term has been attacked for improper construction, since "inar" is not a valid root. Webinar was included on the Lake Superior University 2008 List of Banished Words, but was included in the Merriam-Webster dictionary that same year.
