I enjoyed this new method of education. This method seems requires a lot of planning (pre-recorded Lectures) and give students more control of learning. I also give the instructor greater opportunities for group collaborative learning in the classroom. I think this is great and I am looking forward to using this new method of education.

Soft skill in the work place

This was a great lesson that forcused on the moral qualities in the classroom that are vital for learning. As an Instructor I find it imperative to have compassion for your student's. This Soft skill, produces an enviroment that is conducive for learning. If your student believe that you are genuinely concerned for their education, they tend to try hard to learn the lesson at hand.
