The Flipped Classroom is a reversal of traditional teaching methods where instead of listening to the teacher lecture in school and do homework at home, students view a video lecture at home and utilize class time to work on assignments. I think this has the potential to benefit students by allowing them to have access to the teacher when they are putting the skills learned in lectures to the test. This can also make it easier on parents who, at least in my case when I was younger, didn't really understand themselves what my homework assignments were requiring of me.

MIT has released many free videos of class lectures for people with access to the internet to be able to learn from the school. While you can view these freely it is not the same as being a student paying tuition. This can allow a motivated individual to learn new things but will not lead to college credit. Open generally signifies free resources that can be used to one's learning.
I learned how to use action buttons and animations in PowerPoint. I liked making the powerpoint look cool and fun to follow but I had a hard time with the table. I think next time I will try to do the graph differently or attempt at using buttons instead of trying to animate it.
