The Online Teaching Mixtape:
Providing Online Students With Flexibility So They Can Find Their Groove
Live music can be amazing, fun, and energizing. It’s a great way to really connect and feel the music. However, it’s not always practical to attend a live music venue. Thankfully there’s recorded music. When we find a song that we love or want to learn we can listen to it on repeat. Because the music is always available, we listen to music when we want to. We may actually form an even stronger connection to the music, maybe leading us to go out of our way to see the band live.

However, it’s not always practical to attend a live class and even when students can attend it’s not always sweet music to their ears. Students can be prone to distractions when the entire internet is only a browser tab away and they know that their teacher probably isn’t going to notice if they are distracted.

In some ways, on-demand videos can actually be more engaging and powerful than live video class sessions. It also gives students the flexibility to learn at the time when it’s best for them. Furthermore, students can easily go back and review material when they need to.
