Developing- Micro/Macro Learning
Consider how new information will be introduced an how to best utilize that space so that its easy for learners to stay engaged and focused.
It is easiest for participants when content is broken up into several, short, manageable chunks wherever possible.
Supporting- Participant Motivation/Retention
Consider how new information will be introduced an how to best utilize that space so that its easy for learners to be excited about the topic.

It is easiest for participants when they can apply new knowledge to a real-world scenario.
Stressors- Growth and Development
Consider how new information will be introduced an how to best utilize that space so that its easy for learners to recognize how their personal views on the world have shifted.
Its easiest for participants when they have the chance to visualize how their ideas have developed over the entirety of the course.

Students should work on projects, with their peers. Evaluate and critique each other. This should include presenting their work to the class (Graham et al. 2000).
Instructors should be active in the course and model good practice while also communicating expectations clearly (Graham et al. 2000).
Take advantage of asynchronous communication opportunities (Graham et al. 2000), which allow students to be engaged with each other, the instructor, and course material on a more regular basis.
Developing- Collaborative Discourse

Consider ways to make it easy for learners to interact with the instructor and peers as often as possible.
Participants prefer to communicate using modes that are immediately available and/or already ingrained in their day-to-day life.
