elluminate live pro's and con's

I really like elluminate live class.

Pros: I like the way we can hear what everyone point of view. The chat box is the best when you just don't feel like talking to anyone. It makes me feel close to my classmate even though everyone is in their own elements. When I was out of class for those couple of day I felt so lost I never thought I would feel that way about class.

Cons: I dislike when Alvin invades our classroom just when things are getting interesting. Sometimes I wish I was in a classroom setting so I can ask more question and get one on one assistance. Oh yeah, I really, really dislike when the internet knocks me offline and then I have to miss out on the lecture/directions.

Hi LaTonya,
I agree with you whole heartily about illuminate live. There are frustrating technical issuing with the system. Our ability to see and ask people questions face to face makes illuminate live limiting at times. With technological advancements we lose the personal component of communication. However, the plus is we do not get caught up in traffic and it is relaxing being at home. Overall, I feel that once the kinks are worked out, the pluses will outweigh the minuses.

LaTonya,

I agree about the chat box. Seems like a real good way to communicate
with a comment while litening to ongoing teaching.
I also have plenty of lost time with connections.
