  5. More Disadvantages • Expensive to put classes online. • Some classes need multiple plug-ins. • The technology can be very slow, takes a lot of patience.

  6. Class Structure • Some have to meet at regularly scheduled times. • Some self-paced and can be taken when student is ready. • Use RealAudio to hear lectures. • Digitized pictures of boards and overheads to view notes.

  7. More Structure • Streaming Video to view instructor and class. • Written content on password-protected web sites. • Threaded discussions via e-mail. • Chat rooms.
