[elearning] Strategies for dealing with communications overload?

[Roland Gesthuizen]

If you want to get it out there, you need broad coverage using a range of
different media. Same way that you get the ABC gets information out. On
websites, email alerts, twitter posts, handouts even Facebook and Google+.
Ultimately, let the user decide and don't fuss about the medium.

Whilst I love web hosted files and electronic information boards, I am
still like glancing at retro A4 notices that have been printed and pinned
to notice boards as I dash off to my first class. Each to his own I guess.

Regards Roland
