9. Student feedback “All the features allowed for more participation of the group and made it feel more like a class in a classroom.” “It’s fascinating how you can feel like you’re in a classroom and communicate so well with people when we're scattered everywhere.” “Some aspects of the live session are very useful, such as the ability of the instructor to take us on guided tours of websites and to show us files from various applications. It is also useful to be able to use the whiteboard to take notes and make diagrams during group work sessions.”
