Knowledge, Learning, Community
This article discusses five key elements involved in keeping learners interested and engaged in your online learning: entertainment, interaction, control, usability, and customization. Each element is described in some detail with five our six specific examples. The article is a bit light in some areas, though: it's discussion of interaction looks at things like roll-overs and drop-downs, which are mostly a nuisance, and never considers interaction with instructors or other students (though as we've seen on this list before it's the latter that learners consistently select as the most useful feature of online courses).CRLF
