Community Colleges & The Church: Innovative Necessity

Sandra Tracy, dean of the school of extended learning at San Juan, said she initially doubted that microlectures could be effective — they just didn't seem long enough.

"At first it's one of the most unnatural things," Ms. Tracy said. "But it's an intriguing concept — it gets you away from the idea of a talking head; it's more like snapshots of learning."


When I read the above to a friend of mine, his question was, "So, when are churches going to start doing that?"


Micro-messages.


1-3 minute messages, a list of resources, key concepts, key words and then turn it over to a guided collaborative community.


Get away from the talking-head...
