Knowledge, Learning, Community

This isn't so much a wrap-up for 2021 as it is two posts combined. The first discusses and links to a number of resources on hybrid learning (or hi-flex or whatever else they're calling blended learning these days). I'm still not a fan. Requiring people to be in a specific place at a specific time in order to learn creates a barrier, while providing in-person learning for some people in the class and online for others creates an unbalanced environment that is difficult to manage well. I understand that people want and need to socialize, but I don't see why this needs to be in the context of someone trying to teach them geometry. The second part of the article focuses on a 'faculty development around the world' podcast series. Image: Viewsonic
