This was the first web conference I have attended using the Adobe Connect software. It was extremely easy to get connected and the tools for the microphone, audio, and webcam were easy to navigate.
I liked having the ability to use the Chat window to type questions and receive feedback without interrupting the person speaking and that multiple people were able to answer various questions without having to disturb the flow of the instructor.
Another good attribute of the software was that the instructor could mute all of the microphones when the feedback got to loud. The last time I took an online course with web conferencing the feedback from the various microphones made it difficult to stay focused on the instructor and the content of the lesson.
I find it interesting how quiet everyone was during the web conference. If we were sitting in an actual classroom I am sure we would have gravitated into groups and been chatty. I myself do not mind speaking up and asking questions when in a classroom and face to face with the instructor but each time I take an online course with web conferencing, I tend not to say much of anything. I prefer to sit back and observe.
