Nice progress in drafting unit 1. - create your ICM and unit-level objectives soon, so your unit 1 addresses the objective it needs to address. - Unit 1 seems to be getting very long. - Try to make the content more specific and engaging. You may be able to find video online about Zon and other tools. Adding guiding questions in the beginning and reflection/summary in the end would also help engage the learner.

Your front/intro page needs an inviting opening and overview, followed by the course-level objectives. The objectives (as stated in your portfolio) need to be focused to instructors--not students-- as the learner.

After taking this mini-course, participants should be able to:
Speak basic Chinese phrase after using the technology support learning class.
State the different resource of software to support Chinese Learning.
proficiently use software to support their Chinese pronunciation.

Drop off the first one. Your goal is not to teach Chinese, but teach about tech that can be used to support Chinese learning.

Chanege 'State" to "identify"

Last item or your list: why only for pronunciation? You seem to be covering reading writing, listening too.

To help you focus, you do not have to finish all five units if your time is limited. Having your unit 1 + any two of the rest units will meet the requirement of this project fine.
