One practical tip re #25: If you're using Moodle, you can create a glossary of key terms / concepts and easily configure it so that occurrences of those terms elsewhere in your site are automatically linked to the corresponding glossary entry. Blackboard also has a glossary module but when I last used it, it didn't have auto-linking, you had to create links manually. General tip: Pick 2 or 3 of these you think are high priority for your area and work out how to implement them. Get a mentor / coach (someone with tech AND teaching expertise) to help you do this. If it seems one is too hard in your context, drop it for now. When you get them working the way you want, choose 2 or 3 more...

If you were to pick out 5 of these to put into practice, which would they be?

Most of the courses offered give history and philosophy...but little in the way of hands on help. Any ideas???
