Another benefit of web conferences is ability of some instructors to host an "office" night and be available online for questions or discussion with students.
This increased contact can be more personal and while students and instructor discuss issues via conference, both are still able to handle other matters whether it's telephone calls for work or typing up a homework assignment or even cooking dinner. Web conferences are a tremendous tool for educators and students alike. The advantages they provide far exceed their own limitations. Classes that deal in languages and art are not suited to a web conference format, yet.
