I like that it allows me flexibility in scheduling my classes throughout the year. It also allows for students in different time zones to access at times when they are more efficient. There is no way to have students log-in from their computer rather than having them download an app or program that will allow them to do so. Students also seem reluctant about using the course website as opposed to downloading an app or program. Having class sessions online can be intimidating to new students. The benefits include being able to meet students from all over the country, even if they live in a state where there aren't many options.
