I then moved on to finding about how hard it would be to set up and use, because if it would be really complicated it wouldn't be a good idea because it would take a lot of experienced staff to help the students learn, but if my research proved that video conferencing was simple the students would easily gain the knowledge from learning themselves and therefore it would be worthwhile.

theories of personality have developed over the years. From Sigmund Freud to B.F.
