The Benefits of the Web Conference in an Online Class

The option of participating in Web Conferences has always been a part of my Lamar Experience. I cannot say that I have been a member of many, but knowing the option is there is very important. The connection with a live member of faculty is irreplaceable and having the addition of video conferencing to the online environment gives me that added feeling of comfort and confidence. A "face to face" meeting with the professor personalizes the experience which has proven to make online learning more engaging.

Participating in the Web Conferences has allowed me to connect with my classmates as well as helped me clarify the material through their questions and comments along with mine. I have found the mix of online learning along with the ability to communicate with faculty and peers in real-time to be an effective learning environment.
