  8. Benefits … Promotes personal connections Allows to discuss a topic in real time Allows instantaneous feedback Allows group communication Not another chat program

  9. Outcomes … “ … I was afraid of online math classes before, but this proved to be a good experience.” “ … I never had a professor that takes time out of her personal schedule to meet with students online. I met with her and a few more students in the virtual classroom (at 9pm !), and it was really helpful.” “ … I liked the fact that professor cares about my learning and met with me as much as was needed.” “ … I love the Virtual Classroom, it’s like a messenger, but much better!” “ … I didn’t think I can pull it off with my newly born baby. But professor met with me online when my baby was asleep.”
