There is an antidote to fractured attention and superficial thinking. Critical thinking skills are perhaps more essential for success today than ever before. Do you have a strategy for using eLearning to help people develop critical thinking skills? Does your eLearning help people develop the ability to mindfully apply what they learned instead of merely enabling them to recall information? Methods for doing these things in the physical classroom exist and can be highly effective. Should we just go offline, back to the physical classroom for this work, or should we just make the effort to use technology appropriately to extend the opportunity to learn? In my opinion, the answer is, “Take it online!" I’ve searched out ideas from experts on ways to deal with these questions, and I’ve looked at ways to implement those ideas in eLearning. Here’s a brief compendium of what I came up with, and I hope you find it useful.
