For Donovan's argument, he should NOT use the fact "Members of the group must all have internet access" as an advantage of online programs. This is actually a disadvantage because it implies that if any member lacks internet access, it hinders the group's ability to work together.
For Alexis's argument, she does not want to mention the fact "Having the project on one computer means that all the members will be working together in the same place providing more group collaboration." This is a potential disadvantage for computer-based programs, as it suggests limited collaboration opportunities if members cannot be in the same physical location.
