A few suggestions for you to think about:

• Your objectives can be more specific following what we have learned in Gagne text. For example, what are the specific things students will be able to do if they understand storytelling- to define it, describe its components, give examples, ... Your second objective needs a verb.

At the completion of this course learners will be able to:
Understand what storytelling is. 
How storytelling helps in the foreign language classroom.
Create different types of stories using different online tools and programs.

• You need to make sure that the course-level objectives align with the content/focus of your units.

• Your mini-course will focus more on storytelling in foreign language learning. Feel free to add links to the existing mini-course on Digital Storytelling so you don't need to recreate everything and can focus more on special issues in foreign language learning.
