Many of the qualities that make a successful online facilitator are also tremendously effective in the traditional classroom.Cons of an Online Education: Technology issues – Before any online program can hope to succeed, it must have students who are able to access the online learning environment. Lack of access whether it be for economical or logistics reasons will exclude otherwise eligible students from the course. For some students, the cost and geographical location can be a deterrent to access online programs. Also, sometimes, students with computer or Internet problems will be unable to complete their assignments or exams on time. Security

However, after research into thesizes and ability of the buzzers, the decision was made to construct fewer sensors per panel and totailor the number of panels required to the specific system. Scoreboards that required a higherinput of energy would simply need to obtain more panels to work. The portability factor of thedesign was a priority throughout the project.
