ELLUMINATE...MY HONEST VIEWS....

This is my first time taking an online course. I have had ongoing issues logging in to Elluminate on a weekly basis. It takes me about 20 to 25 minutes to log in to the system. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give this system a 5. The two major cons to me would be too many lost moments of instruction (for instance when the mike drops), and insufficient technical support.

However, with all the challenges we faced I must say that the material presented have been valuable to me and I have gained additional knowledge/skills from each presentation thus far. High fives to Dr. Burns and Ms. Chillis in that regard but thumbs down to Elluminate.

Two major pros would be that I learned a new technology, and I saved time and money by not having to travel from point A to B. Will I consider taking another online course? Yes I will, but I would need to have more classroom sessions included. Personally I do better in the classroom setting as I enjoy the personal interaction with teachers and classmates.
