13.8.1 :-) Beverly

There is an interesting quote in the Moore and Kearsley book in which an instructor explains that using onlineconferencing to communicate with his students encourages him to be more concise and thoughtful in his presentation ofinformation than if he were involved in a face-to-face classroom situation. This is surely one of the benefits of onlineconferencing. Many of us have experienced professors who did not have their presentations organized and gave"off-the-cuff" lectures. If such instructors were teaching through online conferencing their lack of preparation would bedocumented and available for public scrutiny.
