Hi Adam,

I enjoyed trying out your first unit. I think your introduction is strong, good use of citations to support your rationale. You could give some examples in the Why Games? part; I didn't realize the scope of your course (including trivia, sports, etc.) until I got to the 3rd section of the first unit. Your objectives are very solid, it is clear what the goal of the mini-course is. Additionally, the visuals and the charts in particular really help lay the groundwork and explain the four levels of gaming in the different subject areas. I think it's a unique topic and I like how open the course is and how it can really be tailored to any discipline and any physical/cognitive level. Well done!

Some things to consider:

1. Activities or tasks: There is a lot of interesting information in the first lesson, but as the learner, there is no task for me to do. If my objective in Unit 1 is to analyze different types of games, you could set up some kind of task for me to do so within the course; this way you can also assess if I have completed the task successfully.

2. You may want to consider dividing up your objectives by unit so students know what their specific objective is for each unit. You could have a separate intro page with all objectives and then showcase specific objectives for each unit.

Overall, it looks really interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing the final product!
