Sean Adams

Sean Adams seems to have an inordinate amount of energy. I cannot fathom fulfilling all the responsibilities he does. I don't know if that makes me lazy or him a workaholic, all I know is that he work schedule seems insane to me. But, moving onto the point.

The main take away from the video for me was the value of online learning. To me, in person interaction and feedback from a professor is invaluable but, at the same time, I recognize that in person lectures cannot go at a speed that is perfectly cohesive for each student. Online learning is appealing because, as Sean mentioned, it can be paused or fast forwarded as much as need for each individual student. This allows the class to go at just the right speed for each student, but the personal interaction is lacking, even if video chats are included it still is not the same as in person. But what I have never really thought of before was that online learning can allow the work in class to be focused more on developing a personal voice etc etc instead of instruction on how to use the program. Maybe it's a little glimpse into what our education will, or already has begun to, change into.
