- Offers little possibility to prepare a well thought-out
and structured intervention as compared to asynchronous tools;
- Sometimes makes it difficult to manage (students are
not always available at the same time and there can also be a problem with
time zones);
- Can be a source of frustration, a loss of motivation
(for students who are less skilled and slower at the keyboard);
- Brings about, in certain circumstances, communication
difficulties and a feeling of frustration (students who do not master the
English language; non-verbal signals are absent).
