Week 3: 1/20 - 1/26 - A: Reading to Facilitate

Week 3: 1/20 - 1/26 - A: Reading to Facilitate

This was a fun one for me and although I had limited participation I was able to glean quite a bit from others which helped me formulate my thoughts in the end. I could see through out that there was a common theme with engaging elearners. Whether it is getting them involved or at least keeping them involved.

My comments:
The book made me realize that people are in open space out there. If I do nothing to engage them or at least give
them something to do I cannot guarantee there full participation.
There was mention of using humor which I do in my daily live anyway. Online learning does not have to be all
about the facts. I need to find ways to integrate some aspect of humor in what I deliver.

Where not only a good reference point for Kerry it allowed her to build and give me some feedback as well. My career status in the elearning community is as a media developer I have to find new and interesting ways to engage the learner. I feel that Kerry’s suggestions around using jokes can help me as well as assist Armi with controlling the silence of the participant.
