Advantages:

– Students can do it in their own time

– Students who struggle with listening skills won’t feel peer pressure

– Students who need more time to think will have the opportunity to do so

– They/you can see whether they clearly understood the content

Disadvantages:

– It is less engaging than having a live conversation/debate

– It needs a follow-up activity for students to feel it is relevant and worth doing
