Feels like temperature is rising
Mooi: “On Facebook I share a little more information than just lecture material. I make contact and am more visible than just as a 'lecturer in a lecture hall'. That can sometimes make the perceived temperature rise. Sometimes because someone might get angry... but yes, also in other ways.” The phenomenon of 'student develops a soft spot for teacher' is not only known from the film character Indiana Jones. Mr Mooi has also experienced it. “It has happened to me that someone's perceived temperature had risen. I am clear about where that boundary lies: 'this far and no further'. The worst that can happen is that someone gets rejected. But we are all adults, you have to be able to deal with that well and with dignity towards the person in question.”
This social teacher in more ways than one does not limit the integration of armenia phone number list social media to Facebook. E-learning (in a closed platform based on Master Pro via MedischOnderwijs.nl) is also part of the online arsenal, including training of learning material. Lectures via YouTube are also part of his online social engagement. The videos cover quite tough material, which I as a layman have absolutely no knowledge of, but it makes it suddenly very interesting! Students also respond enthusiastically to this.
Mooi: “They can also take a lesson during their winter sports holiday. In principle, they can learn where and when they want. That really adds value. It is also nice that they can click on 'pause' every now and then and examine the material further. I record the videos with a not too expensive camera and separate microphone. That works fine, the quality is simply good.” Nevertheless, Mr Mooi is not entirely insensitive to the viewing figures: “I actually see YouTube as a big theatre. You want to 'capture' your students, take them along in the material, make it come to life. Incidentally, other teachers also watch my videos. To be honest, the popularity counter counts for a bit for me too.” Don't expect a VPRO doc, but I still find it fascinating.
