Chris, below you will find my comments/suggestions for your intro page and first lesson.

Notes on Intro Page:

I like/what works well

· Great job of filling in all appropriate sections of the intro page. Specifically, you do an great job of filling in the Needs Assessment portion. Very well done.

· Your curriculum map is beautiful. The color coordination along with the appropriate information make it useful/valuable and visually pleasing.

Have you considered

· Creating a separate “about me” page. I am not sure if it is a requirement to have two separate pages. The first titled “About me” and the second titled “portfolio page”. I don’t remember why I made both pages but I recall someone saying we needed both.

· Giving each of your “Performance Objectives” a condition? (i.e. Given a choice of videos, SWBAT…. When discussing the effects of the Iraq War SWBAT…)

    Creating links on your intro page so the user can move on to your first lesson or return to ETAP 623 FALL 2015 – Byrne & Zhang section 8550 (**I would high recommend looking into this since 10% of our grade is based on Technical quality which includes navigation links and proper design**)

Notes on First Lesson:

I like/what works well

· I like how your objectives line up from your Task Analysis

· Really like your Do Now. It is very informative and purposeful in regards to your course

· Note taking chart – very useful, key vocab words is a nice touch

· Very informative videos. Did you create these? I also really liked how they align with your note taking hand out.

· Formative assessment is great. Specifically liked how the viewer needs to get a grade of an 85% or higher to move onto the next section.

Have you considered

· Having an activity where participants need to post in a group discussion??

· I believe it’s possible to pick two sources from each of your sections so that a student never has to read or watch a video about the Vietnam War. Consider changing the wording of your instructions to say that one source must be about the Vietnam War and one about the Iraq War??

· Following the three questions in your Conclusion section you have the numbers 1,2, and 3. Are these supposed to be here? Or is it a typo?

· I would also keep in mind the Free Design Resources that were provided to us from Deb.

Consider Kirkpatricks first two levels:

1. Your reaction –

a. Great mini course

b. Very detailed

c. Instructions were specific and easy to follow

d. Great hand outs, videos, and documents

2. Your learning –

a. Activities supported learning

b. Highlighted notes helped identify key aspects of the readings

c. Videos were well structured and informative

d. Assessment quiz was fair

Overall a very strong intro page and first lesson, I look forward to seeing your other units. If you have any questions/concerns about my notes/suggestions just let me know.

Great Feedback! Thanks Connor!
