Autonomous discovery learning 

As valuable as authentic video is to the concept of blended learning in general, and to the flipped classroom in particular, it also can play an incredibly important role in creating a motivated, autonomous learning mindset in the learner. As humans, we engage most actively with whatever interests us the most, and each of us is different in his or her centers of interest. Thus, the use of authentic video in English language learning should ideally not be limited to clips selected by the teacher, but should instead include the ability by the learner to explore a wide range of properly structured video-based learning units, allowing him or her to gravitate towards genres, themes and topics that will encourage maximized attention as well as frequency of use. A good video-based learning resource is therefore one that has a wide range and a large number of learning units; one that keeps adding to the resource via newly published units reflecting current, topical subject matter; and one which allows both teachers and learners to search for units and filter selections in different ways.
