QuickStart QS Live - A Collaborative Distance Learning Solution

	Distance Learning	QS Live
Instructor Presentation	Mostly one-way communication with little interaction. When combined with large class sizes, there is very little student interaction.	Interactive with students encouraged to ask questions. When combined with small class sizes, students and the instructor develop a rapport.
Labs	Conducted outside of the class. If you get busy, labs might not be attempted.	Conducted during the class. This ensures that you will have the time to do the lab.
Getting Help	Little or no real time assistance available. Student may be able to ask questions via email or text chat.	Instructor can see student's screen and offer assistance as issues are encountered. With speaker phones students simply speak up if they have questions.
Class Flow	Lectures up to 3 hours in duration followed by independent lab time.	Short explanation, demonstrations and questions, followed by hands-on labs just like a regular instructor-led class. Classes typically run from 9:00 to 4:30.
