Above Implies MULTI-, INTER-TEACHER COURSE
E-learning (pervasive, liberating 24/7 student learning)
Traditional didactics (lectures) and evaluation tools
complemented with
Modern blended learning methods (teacher inputs balanced with student learning outcomes) “FLIP” classroom
Blended learning methods (teacher inputs balanced with student learning outcomes)ACTIVE/INTERACTIVE• Small discussion groups (face-to-face and e-groups ) to

PASSIVE/IMMERSIVE• Live lectures of outstanding
professors, scientists, artists, professionals, leaders, innovators, creators
• Outstanding MOOCS (massive open online courses) and e-materials
EXAMPLE: INTERDISCIPLINARY KNOWLEDGE IN AN ADVANCED UP GE COURSE
• Learn Biology• Learn Biology, Symbiosis and Ecology• Learn Evolution• Learn Biological Structures• Learn Biomolecular Strategies• Learn Principles of Specificity, Switching, Catalysis, • Product Turnover• Learn Cooperativity and Sigmoidal Kinetics • Learn Signal Processing, Network Signaling,
Amplification Signaling

Fireflies
Fresh from being cats we walk
The dimming pavement. The air
is hung with softly purring rain.
Lightning falls to earth only midway,
or perhaps it is simply waiting
for us to meet it with pointy rods,
our bodies stretching out
from eyes raised skyward. Ah,
we have become too small even
for that, like lizards slinking past
the gaze and feet of lovelorn people.
We like the ground and keep close
to it, our hearts beating among the rocks.
We fear our shadows casting themselves
Against the woodwork flanking us, weaving in
and out of the spindly selves of bamboo.
But tonight promises we may not be known,
and we feel strangely, if temporarily, at peace.
We hug the darkness like a happy thought.
But it may not so easily be had, this nothingness that warms on a night that looks like rain. The lesson hereis meridian: halfway into the wooden roadwe make our own, a dot of airborne light.A tunnel's end flinging itself at us?Suddenly no path stretches darklybeyond our pussyfooting steps.has opened to us a misty corridor of stars.(Or have we stumbled into it by chance?)I say I no longer will tease my Death you can't get me, sticking out my tongue.ou say nothing, which doesn't go to showsomeone is telling the truth. Oh, whytalk about truth that blinds with its dazzlingcloak of sun, or darkness lying through its blackened teeth! To think of themis pure folly, my friend, when fireflies show us love is so much of both, just before the rainscome to wash our fragile twinkling stars away
- J. Neil C. Garcia.
lParable of Stoneslby Gemino H. Abad
lEvery time I go intolthe world’s morning, my pocketslare full of stones.
lYou cannot see themlwhere my hands are hid,lsometimes bruised by their edge.
lAnd a quick and deadly aimlI have, and ask no questions.lMy hands are cold.
lAnd few stones left I havelat each day’s end,land groan as my hands bleed.
lMy state — who can endure?lAs morning breaks, I know againlI have more stones to cast.
lYou cannot see themlwhere my hands closeland all my days bleed.
lWho will close my morning?lO, who will emptylmy pockets of my stones?
lParable of Stones, published in his book In Ordinary Time in 2004, won the Premio Feronia Citta de Fiano in 2009, which is Italy's most prestigious literary prize.
