⭐Shar’s Note: Think about the various e-learning you have encountered in your recent history. What kind of e-learning are you going to build that can be better? It doesn’t have to be the best and perfect, but it has to be better than “emergency remote instruction”.

Without trying to overwhelm you here in the start of this course, I do want you to think about e-learning as an experience (a repeatable learning experience) and question for yourself what kinds of experiences do you enjoy. Enjoyability is important not only for the learner but also for you, the one building the e-learning experience.
