Proactive versus reactive actions ¨C comment on lecture 15 November

Because the audio of the lecture recording system did not work the previous week, I used yesterday my phone as a backup audio recording device. I said during the lecture yesterday that that was a reactive action because it resulted from a failure in the recording device. The correct terminology is that it was a *proactive* action because I changed the process to avoid the problem in the future. The *reactive* action I took to deal with the problem was to put a recording of last year¡¯s lecture on the course web page. Another reactive action could have been to record a new oral presentation of the lecture and put that on the web page.
