Participate 1.1.3 My Ideal DLE

First off I must say I absolutely love the examples we were given in this quest. I have fallen in love with wwww.academicearth.com I love the concept and content of this site. I cannot wait to share it amongst my community and take the marketing course I downloaded.

I created a short video to highlight my top 5 characteristics of the ideal Digital Learning Environment

From my video the 5 characteristics of an Ideal DLE for me are:

1. Having a Clear Purpose of the content in the DLE

2. Simplistic style to site with streamlined navigation for the end users.

3. Multiple forms of easy access to register for the site via using already established accounts like Google or Facebook, or keeping new account creation simple.

4. Having an easily visible Contact and/or Help section to the DLE.

5. Showing the user "What's in it for them" and making sure the content is robust and relevant.
