With a national election getting closer and closer, I find myself thinking about our political system and the increasingly divisive tone of policy debate today. As I recall, there was a time when Americans could have different political views and still enjoy a cordial, even friendly relationship. Sadly, even our elected representatives seem to be increasingly incapable of being civil to each other, setting a poor example for the rest of us.

Not every elearning course that you take is going to hold your attention. If the content is boring or delivered poorly then your mind will wander. It certainly does not help that we often take these courses using our personal laptops or mobile device which means the internet (and our email) are only one click away. This “battle for attention” has been a constant struggle for instructional designers as they create their courses.
