2. What should happen before a course starts?
3. What supports could be in place to help learners manage workload?]]> 2016-07-21 19:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/keithatwork1/1ge2iic1x2nb/wish/116904840 twt https://padlet.com/keithatwork1/1ge2iic1x2nb/wish/116935335 I think we have to give learners a purpose for exploration.  They need a problem to solve or a challenge to meet.  Personally, I am not the exploring type.  I will explore for a reason, though.  Am I hunting for clues to solve a riddle? Am I hunting for questions to find a solution?  Purpose is so important.

Learning outcomes are to be reviewed initially so the learner can see how the learning tasks can fit within the overall objectives. Knowing the learning environment is the key to encouraging participation, I believe.
