    The implicit assumption of these studies, and all interpretations of flow, is that self reports can adequately describe the content of flow. Therefore, no analysis is necessary or valuable regarding the linguistic content of such self-reports. Furthermore, there was implicitly no need to investigate how non conscious information may also parallel flow experiences, and how such information may be mediated by neurological (attentive alertness), somatic (relaxation), and perceptual (demand/skill match) representations that dynamically change in time.

  • “Students who took all or part of their class online performed better, on average, than those taking the same course through traditional face-to-face instruction.”
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Unlike one-size-fits-all lectures, the report finds that computers can custom tailor the pace of learning to each individual student.
  • Department of Education found that online learners spend more time learning and on task.
  • The lure of video games and other mindless online activity quickly eclipse the fleeting intrigue of scientific exploration.
  • Professors Barbour and Reeves find that they still favor students with “independent orientations towards learning, [who are] highly motivated by intrinsic sources, and [who] have strong time management, literacy, and technology skills.”
