Preliminary Assessment
Advantages Disadvantages Unlimited availability of course materials to students (24/7) Delivering more class materials (more in depth problems) Flexibility in student learning (re-watch/ at their own pace/ ahead of time) Reducing stresses of learning Class activity that reinforces student learning Instructor cannot answer students’ prompt questions during the delivery of the lecture Students spend more time outside of class compared to a regular class High possibility of falling behind the class when videos are not viewed.
