As the world goes through a sudden, enforced global experiment in living online, we've all come face to face with what the online interface can, and can't do well.
The online interface CAN (thankfully) connect us in ways that allow us to interact with each other, conduct many kinds of work, and counteract physical distance with social and emotional closeness. Thank goodness for all of that!
It's more challenging, though, to get the online interface to give us the rich sensory experience that life in the physical world provides. We can't physically experience taste, smell, or touch through a computer screen.
But there are things we can do to punch up the sensory richness of online learning activities, to include more of the whole person who is sitting on the other side of the screen.
Plugging more sensory modalities into your online course will help the learning come alive!
Would you like to learn how to add fun, creative activities to your online course that will make the learning more engaging and interactive for your course participants?
This Saturday, March 28th, 2020 at 9 AM Pacific/12 Noon Eastern, during our community meeting on Zoom, we'll do a short, fun, interactive exercise that will expand your thinking about the types of activities you can include in your online class.
(I've set the community meeting up as a weekly event for the next several months, but right now we are only talking about the meeting for Saturday, March 28th, 2020 at 9 AM Pacific/12 Noon Eastern.)

In the meantime, if you're eager to get started making your lessons highly motivating and engaging, read chapters 11 and 12 of my book, Course Design Formula: How to Teach Anything to Anyone Online.
We'll also have time at the meeting to discuss any course design issues, challenges, and concerns you are working on.
If there's a topic you'd like to be sure we cover, please email me in advance at Rebecca@learnandgetsmarter.com.
Hope to see you on Saturday.... you can register here!
