In your opinion. In my opinion, online material is a waste of time, I never watch YouTube videos, for me it is a waste of my time. But that is the point, different people have a different view. This doesn't mean I am right or wrong, it means different people have different ways of dealing with material. I like a live presentation that I can then ignore *or* take up with a gusto with the presenter, or other people, after the session. Conferences allow this. Presentations are an introduction to interaction with others. For me. Others prefer to consume videos and have no interactions about the material. Personal differences. Since there is a population of people who like online stuff, then online stuff there must be. As there are people who like a live presentation and post session discussion, this must also happen. The two are not in conflict. -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
