Martin, Yes, flexibility is the main attraction for sure. The additional benefit is that more learning styles are accommodated and, therefore, more students engaged in the learning experience. Dr. Ruth Reynard

@rleahey14 : Thanks, Richard...interesting and innovative resource.

Yes, we need to focus strongly on what it takes to prepare people for work in the area of skills and professional development.

 

@stjohnson158 : so its still the same as it always was...students make teachers better :)

I agree and the diversity of resources and self-directed environment maximizes teh learning potential of every student.

Discussion Comment
Laura, Very true - similar to student "kick back" on the conventional journaling, you will find some students struggle with self-reflection and would rather not do it. Once overcome, however, self-reflection, as we know, is a wonderful practice in learning. Dr. Ruth Reynard
Tom, Very good points. I agree that classes become highly interactive when students can explore ideas by searching supporting information and research while the class is taking place. Dr. Ruth Reynard
Fialishia, So, we should also "value" these skills in assignment/project design and the distribution of the overall grade. Dr. Ruth Reynard
Discussion Comment
Fialishia, Very well articulated...if you would, please post a similar post to the forum in the Lounge - my forum is a teaching resources forum. Thank you :) Dr. Ruth Reynard
Fialishia, The actual environments keep changing as to user preferences so we need to stay aware especially with younger generations. Dr. Ruth Reynard
