Hi Catherine -

I started by looking at your portfolio and then moved on to your mini-course. You have great ideas and writing in your portfolio and I encourage you to transfer much of that into your introduction - particularly your problem statement. Put all of that great work to use! Also, the introduction is where you want to map out the flow of the course, including objectives, for your participants. You've done a good job collecting and implementing some interesting learning materials. Have you considered how your participants will put their new knowledge to use in the course?


I look forward to seeing how your work comes together - it's a fascinating topic!

Hi Catherine,

I think this is a great topic to teach! It will provide a lot of people with the tools they need to help high school students figure out where they want to go in life!

Looking at your course introduction page, I like that each Unit is sectioned off, however you have a lot of content in there. Do you think it would be better to have the course introduction page be strictly an overview of the course and put the actual content in a separate Unit 1 page?

I really like your use of multiple mediums to get your information across. I find that a text-based course can be very boring, but if there are videos and other types of content, it can make the course more excited and help you retain your audiences' attention better.

I found a way to make documents link directly to the document rather than to a separate page. Instead of using (brackets)File:(FILENAME)(brackets), you can use (brackets)Media:(FILENAME) | (TEXT YOU WANT LINK TO APPEAR AS)(brackets) and it helps keep the flow better. For example, I used it in my mini course to say "Click here to (LINK TO DOCUMENT)."

Overall, great course and I look forward to reading more!

instructor comment on your mini-course -- Jianwei Zhang (talk) 14:08, 1 December 2014 (EST)

I'm pleased to see this full mini-course drafted, with solid units addressing the course objectives, using interactive activities and tools to engage the learner. For further refinements:

  • Highlight the connection between the two units in the course intro section and maybe in the end of your unit 1 as well to build the transition. Strengths identified in Unit 1 can be backed up in the resume through related work and achievements.
  • In the begining of each lesson, add an overview paragraph about the lesson, and incorporate corresponding performance objectives from Media:Etap_623A.pdf .
