    Great for subjects that frequently involve the analysis of the relationships and experiences of characters within a story.

  43. Alejandra – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    Training would benefit from chunking information by spacing video segments with reflective questions. Otherwise, trainees lose interest, affective filter rises, and not much is retained.

    This course offers interesting ideas to spiral lessons off of one book.
