11/10/10 - check out our BLOGSPOT for assessment 2 at [|http://sac7pd6.blogspot.com] will post heuristics soon.... thanks guys

1) Asynchronous activities promote higher order thinking in online education.
SG - Asynchronous as opposed to what? Why would doing things at different times promote higher order thinking?

2) Motivation and interest are the key to an effective online learning experience.
SG - Why particularly to effective online learning? These might be very generic?

Shirley 18/8: I like this one!
4) 'Information overload' can discourage online learners.. Shirley 18/8 so always provide clear concise instructions....or something like that - as the feedback suggestion below states - offer a potential solution

let me know what you think of the titles, just so i know if i am heading in the right direction. =====

Thanks, Daniel.

Comment: Hi Daniel I like your fourth heurisitc! Maybe add a solution at the end of it to tell the audience what can be done to fix the problem. Maybe 'therefore limit the amount of information presenedt at any given time'. or something like that.

SG - Hi Daniel,

The Collis and Moonen (2005) paper has some heuristics, one of them was about the dangers of overloading in ICT environments. It might be a good article for you ?
