About the Course

For three decades and longer we have heard educators and technologists making a case for the transformative power of technology in
learning. However, despite the rhetoric, in many ways and at most institutional sites, education is still relatively untouched by technology. Even
when technologies are introduced, the changes sometimes seem insignificant and the results seem disappointing. If the print textbook is
replaced by an e-book, do the social relations of knowledge and learning necessarily change at all or for the better? If the pen-and-paper test is

I really enjoyed the course and its content, especially the opportunity to do independent research and writing. I will be using what I learned in my next job, and I believe it's given me some great tools for how to think about eLearning. I wish there had been more assigned/suggested readings for each section of the course, though I did appreciate the chance to follow my interests and read accordingly.

The course provided a good round-up on how learning environments are changing and on which means teachers have at disposal to provide state-of-the-art education in the digital age. Weekly assignments and peer reviews help to reflect and apply the concepts of modern learning environments. Still, it gets sometimes a bit monotonous because the assignment tasks are always the same.

O conteúdo do curso é excelente. A única dificuldade é a avaliação. Por ser uma peer evaluation ficamos na dependência dos outros participantes avaliarem, o que atrapalha um pouco a continuidade do curso. Além disso, como não há necessidade de se justificar as avaliações, algumas delas parecem ser feitas superficialmente, sem que o peer tenha de fato lido nossos textos.

Great content regarding online learning environments. More oversight of participants needed, especially regarding posted assignments (plagiarism) and peer reviews (arbitrary grading).

A good general survey of instruction and incorporating digital technologies. I enjoyed the course but did not particularly care for the assignments that were redundant.

Contents in the course was OK to a level.

I was expecting still more details.

Some reviewer simply comment on our peers.

I was little upset with that. But otherwise OK.

Interesting and important courses, however the heavy dependency on peer-review method for evaluation may open to unfair (or irresponsible) scoring by peers
