Monica:
I have taught face to face and now I am teaching online. You are correct the challenge is to keep the student engaged. I have been in healthcare for 25 years and when I give a lecture I do bring in REaly world expereince into the class room, and some personal but just enough that is partaining to the lesson. This help to make the lesson exciting, the students sem to participate more in the class roomm discussion.
The online expereince as an instructor I do find this challenging, but the student is on the web, however, some personal expereince helps to bring a reality to the lesson, and discussion.
