Elluminate

If i were using elluminate for a program I would really have to plan the course out. I think that I would use it for my broadcasting class as an after hour work question session as well as an in class way of me being able to help the students at their computers not having to walk around the room trying to get to everyone. The are definitely some pros to using it because of the fact that it advances the use of computer technology among students and gives the a chance to use the new technology. Students really enjoy using technology for the most part but then you have he few that don't enjoy computers. And that brings up the cons because some students don't enjoy using new technology they feel that the challenge is too much. You also run into the problem of those that can not pick up on the technology, and that slows everyone else down.

I think the idea of an after hour question session is a fabulous idea. My students often take their projects home to edit and often need my help to get through it. If there was a set time on certain days to be available online, this could save a lot of time in class. I think it also would give the students the responsibility of working on their projects on their own time, encouraging them to stay on task. I can also serve as a progress check and keep them on schedule. One of the biggest problems I have is getting the students to stick to a schedule and waiting until the last minute to finish a project. An after hour question session is a great way to brainstorm problems and bounce ideas off of each other.
