Comments on Wall post by Dror Steiner

Hello Bhardresh,
thank you for bringing this.
You have brought few issues. Let me answer one by one.
- preference to have a face-to-face rather than online: I am fine with this. I am probably give an option to postpone the course until we can do the face-to-face. What can not do, is to have a face-to-face NOW. For those who wants to keep the face-to-face, I will find solutions, but it will take time until I can offer such learning.
- Webinar vs pre-recoreded. As well possible. I think that some students like one or the other. I am not I could commit to recorded all the material, and then do the webinar when I show all the material. It will be probably do the webinar and record it, then extract only the teaching I am doing. I am working on improving the online teaching but I understand its not for all students style of learning.
- Split group: it will naturally happened. I will have to come up with few options, not only one. Each students will have to choose. So the group will be split unfortunately.
Again, thank you for raising those issues. Would be great to hear from other students.

I agree Bhadresh, I much prefer face to face teaching in a classroom environment one of the reasons I joined this course.
Personally I find I learn better this way.
If we are now going to be doing this as webinars I would much prefer a prerecorded session so I am able to stop & start when suits, as I will now have many disruptions due to family life and all being home, plus if we were not feeling our best for whatever reason it makes it more flexible for all. If this was then followed by a shorter question and answer session with yourself Dror & perhaps student chat rooms, to ensure this gives us some time as a class, perhaps on a Friday as this would have been our scheduled class day(although I understand some circumstances may have changed).
With regards to the APP exam I think November is the only option out of the ones suggested, as it allows for the time we would have got to complete the course, plus this allows for the extra stresses/unrest albeit caused by the pandemic or other issues. I don't feel any of the other dates are fair dates with everything taken into consideration.
With regards to home massage, I do not feel comfortable inviting people into my own home, the only way I can see this possible is to do a pop up (gazebo type of establishment in my garden) whilst taking into consideration the new MTI & Balens guidelines into account. Therefore I think we are all very limited to how many massages we will be able to conduct safely to the mentioned guidelines.
Hope you are all well.
Best regards

Thanks Lorraine,
Its interesting to have your feedback. I thought that you would prefer to learn together hence suggested webinar.
Its good to have your feedback now so I will implement it into a learning path that will be as good as possible.

I much prefer face to face learning. Dror I think i have made an error on the survey re massage given & received, I've typed sessions rather than hours. I have given 28.25 hours and 6.75 received, apologies.

Dror, should we now have a new consultation form re Covid? Also a cleaning schedule & temperature chart?
