Web Conference - Week 4

I attended the web conference on Sunday, December 11th. The conference began early in the chat section, which was helpful to read through. The technical issues were the most frustrating with audio and video cutting out consistently. I found myself distracted by the technical issues and the lag in the chat section from when someone would type in a comment about the lack of audio and the time the professor would read that comment. It is hard to troubleshoot issues in this situation when you are 5-10 minuted behind in the chat conversation. I was glad to hear live about the changes in the assignment. With EPIC losing documents it is very confusing to know what to turn in. I am actually still a little unclear, but am using the email sent out by my IA. I do find the conferences helpful as members of the class help each other work through different questions and concerns. I wish there was a way to keep the conversation more focused and ensure everyone got the main information at the beginning with time at the end for personal questions. Overall I find about 5 minutes of information helpful to me from each web conference. I will attempt to watch at least one more of the conferences to make sure I have everything completed for this course by Friday.
