Activity #1: In this week's discussion, explore some learning activities and technologies you could use to promote learner engagement in your online course based on the research you've encountered in this course. If you are not currently teaching or developing a course, use a hypothetical example and design activities for that. Cite articles that you have in your shared repository. Provide constructive feedback to a minimum of 3 of your peers.
