Knowledge, Learning, Community

This isn't an especially long or detailed article, but it makes a point that needs to be made over and over, it seems. "Simply placing content and quizzing students with various assessments will no longer suffice for creating an online course. Where is the community? Where is exploration? Where is the opportunity to create? ...  Instructors and Instructional Designers need to place themselves in the perspective of the students. More time needs to be spent focusing on how you can get learners doing and less time reading/listening."
