Unfortunately, the chat on Thursday was canceled without notification and I was not able to make Saturday morning’s chat. After viewing the recorded version of this week’s web chat I noticed it resembled some past web chats where many questions appeared to repeat themselves which can ultimately distract from the purpose of the chat. This week's web conference was very much like many web conferences that I have also experienced in past classes. I found it somewhat confusing and it impacted the session by not providing as much instruction as I would have preferred. Perhaps if an agenda of topics to be covered was emailed prior to the event, it might help keep the chats moving forward instead of having to go back and answer questions that were asked at the beginning. Instructing students that mics are not needed for that chat when they have a question may also help deliver necessary content more efficiently. By typing in questions it gives the professor time to answer accordingly. By allowing participants to use their microphones, the potential for unnecessary rambling may take place. This then becomes another issue that may also hamper productive discussion such as pertinent information to the week's assignments.
