I taught a business ethics course this semester in which I had honed the learning outcomes down into the most essential ones. The learning management system (LMS) I use allows the instructor to see the course from a student’s view. It has caused me to reflect on much about teaching and learning these past few months.

Instructors often turn to flipped classrooms as a method to engage learners but run into unexpected barriers. While this is a positive evolution, it fails to recognize the importance of building a positive relationship with students and creating a pathway for two-way communication between the student and instructor.

A few of you may be like me, for instance, and don’t like learning anything to do with technology. There’s lots of frustration and failure, and I’d much rather stick with what I know I can do. Those were variables over which instructors can exercise some control, including: Group size, Free-riding, and Leadership.

As a guy who lives on the cutting edge of technology, I found it very frustrating to see how far behind the school was, not just in terms of their use of one-off tech and old-school tools, like clickers and white boards, but their failure to connect the dots between better outcomes and using things like big data and mobile technologies.”

While we should challenge students to think about topics outside their comfort zones, this challenge should be met with appropriate support on behalf of the instructor (see Saucier et al., 2022), and creating a more inclusive learning space for students with trauma (Lockhart, 2016). 2022 for discussion of empathetic course design).
