Elluminate Live has been a great experience. It does have its pros and cons. The convenience is amazing. I would say, some of the Pros for using Elluminate Live are: Convenient,Interactive, Digital. You could also take this class in your pajamas. Elluminate Live also allows us as students/teachers to be more creative when there is a problem or technical issue. We do have options.
The Cons for me would be technical issues, technical support is not as knowledgeable, connections drop, the sound is not always stable. I like the up close and personal, tangeable interaction, provided in a live classroom.
Overall, I have more of a positive outlook for Elluminate Live. I believe its a good tool for utilizing technology in the classroom.
I agree Tamarah. I've always preferred being in the classroom, sitting on the front row. Surprisingly, I feel that way about Elluminate Live. You're right, the technical issues that some of our classmates have are very frustrating. It just seems to interrupt the flow of class. I'm glad I haven't had those issues! I love Elluminate Live and I would take more classes in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteHi Tamarah,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that some of us have had a great experience with Elluminate Live. Yes- taking an online course is very convenient and allows us to wear whatever we want or nothing at all if we so desire - no one will know (laugh).
There have been some creative moments when we had technical issues and we had to find a solution or Dr. Burns or Ms. Chillis found a solution.
I did feel that there were tangible moments of good interaction and we were able to utilize technology in our sessions.
My preference is still for the classroom setting.
Good Post.
I agree also I've always been the type of student that needed to be in a class room also. But after taking this class I have a different out look on online classes. I've had my share of bad online experiences from the instructor didn't know how to conduct an online class to the instructor would reply to my commments.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this class is so easy for me because Of the instructors Dr. Burns and Ms. Chill is does a wonderful job in helping me on my toes. Even when things get boring they find a way to draw me back into class.
