Grading Virtual Classrooms


PROS

MORE ENGAGING
Animations and movies make for more realistic simulations and role-playing

MORE EFFICIENT
You can skip material you already know, and there are no travel and lodging expenses

LESS INTIMIDATING
Only you (and maybe the instructor) see your mistakes

MORE COLLABORATIVE FOR STUDENTS
There's no classroom instructor to monopolize attention


CONS

LESS STRUCTURED
You need more self-discipline.

LESS PERSONAL
You don't get any face-to-face interaction with classmates or instructor
