In an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education today an instructor points out one of the advantages
of onlineconferencing which are certain to make online
conferencing superior to face-to-face interaction. Professor DeCaro saysthat she is less likely to "jump
in" when she poses questions online than when she poses
questions in class. In class shesays she has a tendency to answer the questions herself rather than
wait for the students to answer. Instruction is morelikely to result
in learning for students when the instructor gives them the opportunity to answer the questions. The
articleby De Caro is about an online course on designing education
for deaf students. Online conferencing could be especiallysuperior for this group of students.
