About Me

I agree that making knowledge accessible to everyone is a game-changer, and platforms like OpenStax which you mentioned, along with Library Genesis, are incredibly valuable in reducing financial barriers to learning especially in the textbook department. I think open-source software is also a game-changer in today’s modern learning. It enables so many users to learn tools and skills without having to pay an arm and a leg. The software is also just better most of the time since it can be edited and viewed by everyone.

I also liked your perspective on blended learning. Finding a balance between structure and flexibility is key in my opinion too. Having a mix of in-person discussions and online coursework creates a more adaptable learning environment. As I mentioned in my blog I much prefer learning through online materials but when it comes to working in groups I much prefer in-person collaboration and discussion,  I find sometimes with online discussion it’s too easy to not reply which then can slow down the discussion from hours to weeks.
