to be accessed “when, where
and how” the learner wants.

Test it before you trust it!
Ensure the course runs on all devises and browsers
Does not take too long to load
Test on sample audience across diverse backgrounds
Have “feedback” directly incorporated in the course (without using a form)
Focus on the “Experience” and not just what they want to tell you.
Launch the course only when the confidence on its ability to “engage” is high.
Make it Social
Keep it live-beyond the “module”
Set up focused discussion forum
Throw the ball in the arena (but moderate it)
Initiate lots of discussion
Kindle the fire initially- it burns on forever
A good discussion never dies easily
“Social” ensures voluntary collaborative
learning through experiences and opinion
sharing

Google Hangouts
Blogs
Whatsapp groups
Discussion forums
LinkedIn groups
