Tim,
Thanks for the heads up... you've allayed my fears about the learning
curve. Sounds like having *both* as options for participants is
definitely a good idea and I'd definitely encourage people to "show

Paul,
Thanks for the feedback!
By shared learning outcome I'm assuming you mean a specific skill or
item of knowledge that has been explained and practiced/exercised
