I’m teaching both online and FTF this year, so these “Instructional Techniques for Maintaining Learner Focus” are good reminders for both venues:

This article entitled “Make the Most of the First Day of Class” was also timely as I step back in the classroom:

For my online/elearning persona here are some good tips, too:
- Humanize Your eLearning Courses or Risk Losing Learners
- 10-Things-Successful-eLearning-Professionals-Do-Differently
- A List of Brain-based Strategies to Create Effective eLearning
Great reminders!
