Great start Valerie and excellent use of a cartoon.

Similarities! -- Meghan Blair 19:55, 25 October 2012 (EDT)

Hi Valerie! Your page looks great! When I initially was having trouble posting my image, the page showed me that it was being used on another page. Your page was so far along, I assumed it was from a past semester! This is a very important element of instruction and you seem to be embracing it in a productive and educational way! Great work thus far! -Meghan

Meghan,
Thank you very much! I'm glad it helped you! This is definitely an interesting project! Good luck with yours!

Intimidating - But in a good way! -- Margaret Ewart 15:00, 28 October 2012 (EDT)

Hi Valerie,


I just wanted to say that you are doing an amazing job on your pages! It's a bit intimidating but also a very good resource for me to look at so I can see how you add different links, images, etc. It's better than the help page!


Thanks,

Margie

Hi Val, I've just spent some time on your mini-course. I like it a lot. Here are some of the highlights for me.

  • I like your humor and your voice. When you are giving information you do so in a way that I feel I am hearing you. I use the word "I" and make empathetic, supportive and witty comments that feel personal. This is hard to achieve in an online course and it makes a big difference to the students.
  • You use a wide variety of media, audio, cartoons, images, videos, case studies, tables... This is excellent because you are not the only source of information. And each new piece supports your message or adds another dimension.
  • You provide your information in several clever ways myth and truth, dos and don'ts...
  • You provide a consistent structure: Some kind of prior knowledge activation (jot down...), new information, task and reflection.
  • I got to the end and wondered if I had met the unit objectives. I returned to the first page and reviewed the objectives and sure enough there was a very nice alignment between the activities and the objectives.

Here's what I recommend as a next step. Get someone to read your text for clarity and grammar.

Continuation of comments -- Janewilde 23:42, 11 November 2012 (EST)

Hi Valerie, I got called away in the middle of my last note.

Other suggestions:

  • Consider citing at the bottom of each unit page the resources you have used including images if you can.
  • Let me know if it is ok to direct students to your pages - As Margie said, it is a great resource for others who are in the development phase.



And let me just add how I wish I shared your habits of mind to get things done early and with such care. Excellent work, clearly demonstrating understanding and attention to the design process.

Jane
