Thanks so much for your feedback! Some of the most meaningful learning moments I have experienced online have been the simplest to foster.

A quick, somewhat related story: When I was 9 years old, my grandfather introduced me to my first professional magic trick, and I began entertaining as a magician at parties and events shortly thereafter. One of the things I learned very quickly was that the best illusions — the ones enjoyed most by my audiences — were usually the ones that were the simplest to perform. (And despite my love of gadgetry, and behind-the-scenes, inner workings / mechanics, the tricks with the greatest audience impact are also the ones with the most elegant, simple operation.)

The same concepts are often true with online learning — an elegant and simple approach can sometimes be the most powerful! More advanced approaches can result from combining one or two simple techniques. Simple + Simple should still = Simple.

Thanks, Mary Jean!
