Mereka mengungkapkan materi yang digunakan praktis, karena dapat dibuka dimana-mana, namun kadang ulit memahami materi, instruksi, dan sebagainya. Mungkin faktor-faktor ini yang membuat mereka tidak bersifat netral. Oleh karena itu untuk mendukung perkuliahan online, kita perlu melakukan perbaikan secara berkala.
