Okay, maybe you think I'm being superficial and immature - and you're right. Actually, the real reason I love Richard Armitage is because he's helps me learn. That's right, this man of many talents has played doctor, spy, painter, devilishly handsome man, and now it's time to add professor. Every now and again, he holds audience with his students via television or internet conferencing and delivers intriguing discourses on a diversity of topics. Past lectures include British imperialism and the private life of sperm. Most recently we've been exploring forest elephants and their fight for survival. Don't be fooled by the casual nature of the learning environment though. Just because you're wearing some sweats and your favorite bunny slippers during class time doesn't mean you can be apathetic about the assignments that follow. Each lecture is always accompanied by intense discussion with peers, and like any good school, respectful disagreement is allowed. I've been to many different schools in several different countries, and I must say, Mr. Armitage's classroom is one of the most inspiring! This really is the future of distance learning. Anyway, I invite you to take a look at some of the sample lessons below and hopefully you will join millions of satisfied students in this exciting experience!
