Comfort and convenience

When thinking about the pros and cons associated with Elluminate live I must admit that attending class in the comfort of my home tops the Pros list. The benefit of not being required to race down town or even worse to Alpharetta to attend class is priceless. I also like the differentiation in content presentation. As an audio/visual learner, I have multiple opportunities to engage in the process of learning. The class last week is a perfect example of this benefit. I was struggling to understand the differentiating a product from a process. My classmates eagerly chimed in to help me understand and I emerged with clarification in the end. The major Con associated with this learning platform is inconsistency in technology. It can be frustrating when I am engaged in the classroom and suddenly there is a loss of participation by either me or a teammate. I have not experienced many technology problems but the one that I did experience was extremely frustrating.
