Subject: Pros & Cons of virtual meetings 

I am going to discuss the pros and cons of virtual meetings. 

There are many pros in favor of virtual meetings. Employees can be situated all around the world, so workplaces understand the need for virtual meetings in order to connect with one another. Students also benefit from virtual meetings, because they may have different class and work schedules. There are several technologies available to have such meetings. Some examples of technologies that can be used for virtual meetings are email, blogs, conference calls, internet conferencing, webinars, digital whiteboard, collaborative writing software, and project management software. 

There are also cons when it comes to virtual meetings. Some technologies available for such meetings are not effective. Emails do not allow for facial expressions, voice or other social cues. Blogs also do not provide for social cues. Conference calls allow for more cues than written text but it is still impersonal. The downside of internet conferencing is that it is hectic when it comes to larger groups. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this document.
