There are four major disadvantages to using synchronous discussions to teach critical course content.

  1. Scheduling students across different time-zones or who work shifts could be a real challenge.
  2. The text on chat screens advance rapidly, thereby having a negative impact on slow readers.
  3. Analyzing and summarizing individual student input to chat sessions could also be a real challenge.
  4. Last but certainly not least- fast typists are likely to dominate the chat session.
