• Lessons structured as Micro-lessons for short, asynchronous learning for concepts
• Text and Images in Lessons change based on the Context
• Ability to comment and reply, facilitating student communication
• Register interest in a new context; quick and easy creation

Online vs. Face-to-Face
Online• Ability to start / stop lesson as
needed• Difficulties in asynchronous
questions and answers• Ease of Online tech for learning
and applying to lessons
Face-to-Face• Students want more practical
time• Ability to gauge enthusiasm
and adjust• Real-time mobile data
gathering and online visualising well received
