Hi Jeff, Great start to your mini-lesson!

1) I liked/What works well

· I like the data that you provide to support the relevance and importance of your topic. This really drew me in.

· I like that you laid out the prerequisites for learners so that they can be sufficiently prepared to navigate through your course.

· I like that you include objectives for each lesson (I think I’ll use this in my course too)

· The ABC analysis chart example was an interesting table. I liked seeing this kind of real world example. It made it easier to understand.

· I like the reflection section/activity that you include at the end of the lesson. It allows the learner to sum up what they’ve learned in this section.

2) Have you considered this?

· ASD refers to autism spectrum disorder - Consider defining this acronym in the first use. I didn’t know what ASD stood for.

· Have you considered including links or extended information on pre-requisites for those that do not already have them?

· Should you add that learners need to be connected to a printer (if they need to print the downloaded vocab list)?

· https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/autism-spectrum-disorders-asd/index.shtml?utm_source=rss_readersutm_medium=rssutm_campaign=rss_full This is a long article and I wasn’t sure if I needed to read the entire length. Perhaps you can copy and paste the text that relates to social interaction (since that is what you ask learners to journal about) and attach as a link to a pdf.

· In your discussion journal… (you don’t mention this earlier) Maybe you should consider talking about this in the intro. Is this a digital journal or pencil and paper?

· Have you considered putting the ABC table directly into your mini lesson? It’s an interesting table and can break up the text.

· https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2P4Ed6G3gw. The links to the videos are the same. I’m not sure if you meant to link to two different videos.

I enjoyed reading about this topic. Good luck as you finish up!
