Explanation:
Audio files have several advantages for the delivery of distance learning courses. Audio files are also easy to create, easy to duplicate, and easy to use.

Answer:
A memorable distinction between audio and video is the 1960 Nixon-Kennedy televised presidential debates where for various reasons the audio-only audience gave an edge to Nixon over the video audience who declared Kennedy the winner.
The influence of aural and visual cues is well documented and exploited throughout our society. Even a physical gesture captured in a still picture often makes the newspaper before one without. More to your point, I’d suggest advantages and disadvantages are largely determined by the audience’s individual disposition and sentiment.
I could understand how someone listening to an Obama press conference could be put off with his characteristic ers and ums, whereas a viewer could interpret the same disfluencies as intellectual contemplation and reflection. Bottom line is it could go either way based heavily on one’s political leaning.
In today’s cynical and saturated world of instant and constant opinions and views, I’d conclude there are limited advantages and disadvantages. Both producer and consumer of audio media spin, rationalize, justify, pivot, and otherwise interpret the message and meaning to suit their own needs.
I look forward to reading more optimistic perspectives than the one I offer.
