Your self-regulation comment is so relevant. There's quite a bit of research published in educational journals about the connection between self-regulation and performance in virtual environments. And it makes sense that we can enhance this from a design perspective. Thanks for offering your two cents, Audrea!

Good Evening!
I really enjoyed reading your post and thoughts on Techniques to Capture Attention in eLearning.
One thing that I would add or expand is something that was mentioned in Technique #6: State Expectations "Learners should also be informed of how they’ll be held accountable for learning during training (e.g., assessments, development plan, online discussion, etc).

For a metacognitive thinker its imperative they have a method within the eLearning application to assist them in self regulation strategies. Most metacognitive thinkers regularly utilize self regulation strategies to maintain focus on a lesson, stay motivated, verify comprehension on an on-going basis, and exercise self reinforcement. A great way to do this is including "real life scenarios" that the user can answer questions regarding using multiple choice, true/false options etc. as well as tests or quizzes after each lesson etc.) This would be a great way to motivate the learner as well as capture and maintain their attention.
