Today we got an idea of what illuminate functioned. It is a great technology,which made it possible and convenient for distant learning. We had fun doing collaborative art via illuminate. With time goes on, I think face-to-face teaching will probably disappear. People just hide behind their computers and communicate in the virutal world. Personally, I don't like this trend. I prefer traditional face-to-face classes, although distance learning has so many advantages, for example, you don't have to travel to school to receive education and it saves time and energy. As far as I know, we still record our classes in advance, then upload them online and make it possible for students in distant places to have distance learning in China. I think if illuminate could expand its market to China, they could make big money.
