As for self-paced learning, it takes a lot of internal motivation to do it properly. One of the examples of it is reading a book when you need to know something. Even that is too much for some people (lol). I allow my classes (especially M115) to go self-paced, but they don’t end up being able to perform the skills taught once the exercise is complete. So was anything learned? Not really. So self-paced learning for skills training must be very repetitive with vocabulary repeated as well (what do you call what you just did?). Conceptual learning might be easier in a self-paced environment because I could set up situations/questions which require higher level thinking skills.
