 * Web Conference Reflection**:

On Monday, May 24, 2010, I attended the web conference at 7:30 p.m. I, personally, did not like this form of communication. It seemed as if I was frustrated from the beginning, not knowing the exact procedure to follow or what we were supposed to do, once entering the conference. It seemed that several others were equally confused. I do feel this could be a very effective means of communication; however, there should be some sort of guide for participants to be made aware of in advance, in regard to the purpose and expected procedures that should be followed throughout the conference. For example, one suggestion I would make is to have participants only post or comment on issues that are directly related to course work or program matters. I'm not trying to be impersonal with this opinion, but it does seem that the extraneous commentary is a bit much to muddle through, since some of us do not have audio capabilities to filter through the unnecessary input. Any effort to eliminate extra reading would surely help many of us who are pressed for time.
