It seems to me that the emotional aspect of learning, even in a traditional lecture setting, has been underestimated. When I am emotionally involved in a lecture, it comes alive for my students. When that happens, I interact better and use more examples, and I believe my students learn better. This is the part that I worry about losing as we develop new online techniques. Best, Dennis Don:
