Meeting students individual needs
According to Ozuah in his commentary on Pedagogy and Andragogy several points he makes are addressed by Webinars.
Webinars have the ability to deliver a class when there is a need to instruct quickly and efficiently. The is no physical impediment such as schedualing a classroom. The efficiency to deliver to a few or many at the same time voids need to set up class rooms in a remote area when the class is too large for existing facilities at the employer’s place of business or educational center. Having to adjust the meeting room at the last moment due to an overcrowding situation or the opposite situation.
A webinar is a great delivery method to tutor a student long distance with the student in the home environment.
With the ability to produce a class in a short period of time without the need to plan for a classroom the quicker a class can be delivered the more relevant the class can be made to meet.
(Ozuah 2005)
