It's important to design the course appropriately to achieve the desired learning outcomes. 

Quizzes and other evaluations are a great way for students to find out what they don't know so they can make sure to learn those fine points. 

Utilizing a guest lecturer is a great way to break up the monotony of a lecture based course and allows the students an opportunity to learn from a professional in the field how what they are learning is applicable to a real-world job. 

Making the course easily navigable and highly interactive allows students to learn more deeply on their own terms resulting in higher learning retention and application.
