For Donovan, the fact he should NOT use as an advantage of online programs is:
**Members of the group must all have internet access.**
This is not an advantage but rather a disadvantage of using online programs, as it implies a limitation that could hinder access to the presentation.
For Alexis, the disadvantage she doesn't want to mention is:
**Having the project on one computer means that all the members will be working together in the same place providing more group collaboration.**
This point highlights a potential advantage of using a downloaded program, as it suggests that working collaboratively in the same physical space can enhance teamwork, which is something she wouldn't want to emphasize if she's arguing for computer-based programs.
