Sadly, I have missed the web conferences that were available for Week 2 of my Multimedia class. However, this did not stop me from pouring over the ten page long transcript sent to us by our Academic Coach.
I do feel that web conferencing is a very valuable tool to have, especially when those you are meeting are spread out over distances. Since beginning my Master's work, I have participated in about three or four web conferences and all of helped me learn more about my understanding of technology and its value in education.
After reading the transcripts of the last web conference, I was able to have many of my personal questions about using video editing software answered. I would have liked to have asked someone about posting a podcast and which sites are the most user friendly for uploading them. This part of our assignment this week was a struggle for me, and I wonder if the assignment would have been easier if I had someone to ask.
All in all, web conferencing is a very valuable resource. Many questions get answered, many more good questions are asked, and the value of being a part of the class is something that can not be replaced. Even though transcripts were provided, I feel like a student getting notes after being sick from school - it's just not the same.
