This month, I went on a trip to Texas to meet with some of the people at Apartment Life about their online learning. I've just completed the storyboards for the first two courses and it's got me thinking about something that happened while I was meeting with them. We were talking about the second course, which is part of their Application process. The course serves two purposes.

Growing up Southern Baptist, and working in a Christian Bookstore, the name of Beth Moore was kind of a household name. Second, You Rock! Seriously, you do. Your blog is perhaps the best example of simple facilitation of incredibly easy, interactive and engaging ways to use the web to teach.
