Abstract— In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, the integration of technology has proven to be instrumental in reshaping traditional learning paradigms. This paper delves into the realm of improving student’s performance by harnessing the potential of interactive webinars as on innovative educational tool. The paper aims to investigate the impact of interactive webinars on student engagement, knowledge retention and overall academic achievement in the course. The findings of the study provide empirical evidence that interactive webinars positively influence student performance. The analysis demonstrates that students who actively participate in interactive webinars exhibit higher levels of comprehension, engagement and retention compared to conventional classroom instructions. The students’ engagements in the webinars are monitored by MOODLE activities, question answer sessions and their quick notes. The comparative graph of pre-test and post-test clearly describe that, there is improvement and shifting of students from CD, DD & FF grade to AA, AB, BB & BC grade. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research draws upon quantitative data from pre and post webinar assessment, as well as qualitative insights obtained from student surveys and interviews. These methods enable a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of interactive webinars in comparison to traditional instruction methods. In addition to that incorporating industry resource persons into educational activities like interactive webinars can significantly enhance the learning experience of the students. Industry professionals bring real-worlds insights, practical knowledge and helping bridge the gap between academic theory and practical application.
