Many instructors get started in online education because they want to share their expertise with the world. They’re subject matter experts , but they don’t necessarily know a lot about effective teaching methods. And as a result, they’re likely to grab hold of some teaching ideas they’ve heard about but never examined and move forward with them under the misimpression that simply presenting

Communicating effective through email is about much more than marketing. Email is one of the primary tools you have to communicate with your learners online. Used well, it can keep learners engaged, and prevent them from falling behind on their course work. However, used badly, it can flood the already-full inboxes of many users.

Few things in the L&D profession attract as much disdain as the Level 1 evaluation survey. Known colloquially as the “happy sheet”, the humble questionnaire is typically considered too onerous, too long, too shallow, and it gives whiners a platform to complain about the sandwiches or the air conditioning.
