The conferences I participated in were informative and helped clarify assignment and project expectations. The first conference was attended by many students, and although we tried to turn on our microphones and video, that process created lag time that impeded the conversation. During the next conference, which was smaller, lag time was not an issue, and having the video feed from other students made for a more enjoyable conference, since we could see fellow students that before then had been faceless. Although I was able to turn on my video during that conference, I did not turn on my audio because I do not have an external microphone, and I had been told at the conference with my site supervisor that a microphone was important because there would be terrible feedback from the internal one.
The third conference I participated in was much like the first. We could see the professor, but no one else had their video turned on. During the fourth conference, we could not even see her. To participate, students had to type in their questions, and there was a definite lag before she could see the questions and then respond to them. Sometimes she did not see a question at all because they were scrolling so fast. The last conference, where we could not even see her, was the least enjoyable, simply because it is so much better to be able to put someone's face to their voice. However, the information we received was still quite valuable.
