Virtual classroom lessons should be more about learners working together collaboratively than lecture and PowerPoint. Intellectually, we all recognize that.

Is it merely to allow a Facilitator the opportunity to lecture to a multitude of people simultaneously?

An unpredictable ending keeps us hanging in suspense but the beginning can push us or pull us away from the story.
