Ideally it works, but too often itâs a disaster
As someone who was active in off-campus teaching for some 30 of a 50-year career in higher education, and with awards and media coverage for my innovations, I am nevertheless concerned at proposals such as the use of pre-recorded lectures combined with a weekly or fortnightly seminar. This strategy can work where lecture equivalents are updated, seminar sizes are limited to 30 or so well-prepared students, and they take place in purpose-designed classrooms with movable seating to allow for break-out groups.

Nola Flora 4536 Magazine St.
The already festive building at 4536 Magazine St. where Nola Flora is located is eye-catching enough, but it just got enhanced.
Their storefront float theme is the shop’s name and it features giant flowers and a flowering vine going up the front and side of the building.
Nola Flora is located on the Uptown parade route, so when parades were cancelled for this year, it was truly discouraging. But being good New Orleanians, they took the bad stuff that came their way, covered it in glitter and kept on going.
“As much as we love decorating the shop, we wanted something really dramatic,” said Ashley Watkins-Bateman, the owner. They called in a professional.
