A4: UX (User Experience) is so important if we're to get the traffic we want. Need to anticipate Ss workflow thru tools/resources #PAlibchat

bsboyer Jan 25 @ 8:45 PM EST

A4: Try to maximize Ss time online by setting a path for easy access (2 clicks or less) - NO drilling down to get to things! #PAlibchat

lkstrohecker - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:45 PM EST

Great point! Students won't use even the best tools if not easy & intuitive. Any tips? #palibchat
