eluminate or elumi-not
I have taken online classes before. I liked them. They were different in that it was not "live" as compared to eluminate. With this class, I have found that the impersonal nature of online learning has been bridged somewhat. Being able to chat, and key in on the mic, and listen to everyone's answers is very helpful to me. The lack of commute is outstanding. I attended GSU in 1990/1991 and I hated the drive. Now, with a family and many more responsibilities, I really appreciate the online option. I do miss the "face time" interaction associated with brick&mortar learning but this gets the job done much more efficiently.

Hi, Pat - I agree that not seeing and interacting with each other is regretful, but some of us may not be very enjoyable after fighting traffic! I really like being able to talk with each other on Elluminate as well. Thanks for sharing.
