This semester I have attended two web conferences for Concepts of Educational Technology. The web conference has been a useful tool in communicating with the professor as well as my classmates. The web conference itself helped me to create that community feel that you get in a typical classroom. I feel that I know some of my classmates although I have never met them. Web conferences gives you the face time that I sometimes feel that I need when learning a new concept or idea.
I am typically a vocal person and I like to speak about my thoughts and ideas because it helps me to process information so I questioned whether an online degree would be a good fit for me. After weighing the pros and cons I decided to give it try and I am delighted that I can work at my own pace but still get that face time through the web conferences.
The web conferences also provide an additional outlet to ask questions and clarify information. I am not the type of person to email with questions and concerns and I usually can't make calls within normal business hours so again the web conferences are another way for me to communicate.
