Best Practices for Online Training

From the discussions at the recent regional trainer meetings, a request was made for KRI to provide additional support for trainers in how to improve at delivering online trainings.  We will take this on as a project.  If you have tips and best practices from your experimentation, please share them with the rest of the ATA via your peer-to-peer PEDAGOGY TOOLS sharing webpages here.
