| Building and Maintaining Motivation in the
Online Classroom, Magna Publications Online Seminar |

| Eroll Craig Sull |
 |
| In this session, Eroll Craig Sull outlines what online
instructors can do to help their students succeed. You'll discover that
the instructor, the subject taught, and the online environment are not
nearly enough to keep your students excited, involved, and eager; rather,
small tweaks, added “unusuals,” and a determined effort on your part are
required – and the long-term payoffs in class motivation will be the result.
