Hi Suzanne,

You create great course. I wanna make sure that you course is fully online, right? I mean there is no face-to-face activities. I think Wiki has limitation in sending file and discussion. Therefore, perhaps we should find alternative place for assignment. What do you think?

I would like to suggest you to add link to course main page in every unit page, so we can directly back to main page.

Alex, Thanks for taking the time to look this over.

You raise a good point the limitations of a using wiki for hosting a course. My preference would be do to this in the college's LMS, but I chose this instead because I wanted everything in one place for this project. I was concerned that if I obtained a guest password for the LMS it would expire six months from now. This seemed to be the best solution for a permanent web site that will function as a demo course.

I'll add the home page to the navigation list. I was wondering if I should have included it.

Instructor comments on your course -- Jz833665 15:10, 28 November 2011 (EST)

Suzzane, Your mini-course has been beautifully designed. Great work. A few refinements you can further make:

  • As a part of your course objectives, you may specify the primary audience of this course (e.g. mentors at your college?) as well as other readers who may benefit.
  • Is it possible for you to find and use an example of online/blended course that has a focus on creating a learning community? Such example can be presented in the first unit and serves as a case to anchor student reading of the various materials you've provided, and also facilitate participants' efforts to create learning activities of their own in the end.
  • Your unit 1, on learning communities:
    • "of these two concepts of community," spell the two concepts out here.
    • The characteristics could be presented as a bulleted list, like what you've done in your unit 2 on blended learning.

I was able to make all of the suggested revisions with the exception of integration of the example. I need some time to develop a compelling one and to obtain permission from the instructor. 12/11/11.
