Cynthia,

To the contrary, Peters also lists the folllowing in association with the advantages of structured (online conferencing)education:

Each learner is challenged to think for himself

Each is making skilled inferences from the facts

Several interrelated perspectives are considered

Alternative solutions to each problem are raised

The coherence and consistency of the propositions of each learner are analysed

No learner is left out of, or dominates over the group
