I would like to comment on the second question. I found the article on WBDL interesting and could understand how important the length/format  of modules used as well as the aesthetic design are in making online learning effective. However, I couldn't help but think, okay so how can I bring these results in the course which I am designing which is a much more theoretical/conceptually based course? That requires some thinking and creativity - which I think is probably good.", "group_id": 11791, "id": 2347428}, {"user_id": 41694, "stars": [], "topic_id": 46441, "date_created": 1318612190.83269, "message": "Then everyone could be in the same discussion.", "group_id": 11791, "id": 2347452}, {"user_id": 42226, "stars": [], "topic_id": 46441, "date_created": 1318612563.6843979, "message": "You mean instead of having a group 1 and group 3. if so, yes!!", "group_id": 11791, "id": 2347544}]
