Look what you're saying though - you're agreeing with me. 1. You were motivated to learn. 2. The in-class time wasted your time with 15 minutes of chit-chat rather than purposeful doing. 3. Pausing is key. But you are motivated to spend 2 hours working on the concept. It has been my experience that many do not. They simply move to the assessment to get it done. Then retention is lost. I'm not at all arguing for traditional school. Traditional school seems to be "let's talk at a room of people for an hour 4-5 times a week, then give them tests to see how much they remember." I want to see "you watch the 15 minute videos and then we engage together to create something meaningful where you apply what you learned." Which sounds exactly like what you want. Make no mistake - I can't drive because I don't see well. I have to take a bus to go teach my face-to-face classes. The bus ride can be 30 minutes to an hour depending on when I pick it up. To teach an hour class, I need 3 hours of my day. And this puts in me in the same boat as my students. When students come to my classes, I don't waste their time because it's precious. I'd love an online version of this. But with online classes, it's hard to find common times because people take classes around work and other duties.
