Web Conference Evaluation - EDLD 5363

I have attended a few web conferences for previous classes, but I yet to participate in one for EDLD 5363. I tried the first week, but I could not get in for whatever reason. I have found that they are usually not very helpful. The first 10 minutes or so people usually have to be told to turn off their mics to stop the echo, and then the audio goes out for minutes at a time. I have been frustrated by the lack of organization during the web conferences as well. I find that I am usually better off trying to figure out the week's assignment myself or with the help of my fellow students in the Cohort 9 Facebook group.
