Pros and Cons
Elluminate Live is new for me so it's a challenge from time to time. Sometimes I become nervous about learning new tools on elluminate live because I'm not computer savvy. I'm so thankful the NTI instructors are patient and repeat the steps. After using Eliminate Live for several months it has pros and cons. The pros for Eliminate live is that we are able to be in class online and not have to travel to the campus. I think it's tailored to non-traditional students. Also, Elluminate live allows you to hear classmates' comments and thoughts on concerning the topic. As time goes on I think we continue to grow as a family. The cons for Elluminate live is we are not able to see each other. Sometime the computer and mic malfunction during the session. Sometimes school duties and responsibilities delay students from getting online on time. All and All it's not so bad!
Hi, Angel - good summary of pros and cons, and good for you for your success in using Elluminate. Patience works for everyone as we learn and use this technology. Keep after it!
ReplyDeleteHello Angel,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comments about the patience our Elluminate Live instructors offer during and after class. Not having to travel is a great benefit. With our busy schedules and the state of the economy, we all can appreciate this luxury. After a day of standing up, I must admit I enjoy the comfort of my sofa. It's also nice to be in the relaxed environment of home. Although we are unable to see each other, the chat feature is nice. Computer and online glitches are frustrating. I, fortunately, have not had much of a problem. Enjoyed reading your blog!
