 * || Benefits || Drawbacks ||

Tradeoffs: To start, VoiceThreads produce a huge drawback because with just the voice thread there aren't images and/or videos to help guide the viewer along if some aren't included. This is what makes video, webpage, and photographs beneficial, you can see usually along with written information of what the topic is about. The good thing about sound media is that you can hear information dictated to you without having to read different information. Drawbacks for making webpages or blogs is that for some users these forms of multimedia are harder to maneuver than somthing such as a stand-still power point. My aim is to make a webpage but even with its drawbacks make it the easiest to use as possible.
