SigGolfer recently had a review about his virtual course experience: https://www.beatthegmat.com/viewtopic.php?t=4562

Some stats and quotes from the end-of-course surveys of my most recent online class. (This was SigGolfer's class, in fact!)

Overall Effectiveness of the Elluminate Online Platform:
11 people rated 5 - Outstanding
3 people rated 4 - Very Good
Nobody rated lower than 4

In response to "How would you compare your learning experience in Manhattan GMAT's LIVE ONLINE platform to that of a traditional live classroom?

5 people said it was more effective than a traditional classroom
9 people said it was as effective as a traditional classroom
Nobody said it was less effective than a traditional classroom

In response to the question "How would you compare your learning experience in the Live Online platform to that of a traditional live classroom?"
These are ALL of the responses to this question, by the way. I didn't only put in the good ones.

• It was way more interactive.
• The platform was very user friendly and efficient.
• I loved that the students were able to answer questions anonymously and get instant feedback.
• I’d prefer a traditional classroom, but I found the Elluminate classroom to be a good substitute and definitely adequate for this kind of class.
• The advantage of having Steve put in tips all the time along with the main instructor made the online experience very effective. The ability to view the class at any time was superb.
• I felt that because the class is interactive the only thing missing is seeing other people's faces (and the drive to and from an actual facility).
