Overall this course is a very good course. The material, videos and reading, provide a solid foundation in understanding the history of pedagogical approaches, how they've evolved over time and the necessity for today's world. The assignments get you thinking on the various pedagogies and the dimensions of learning. You rely on your "peers" taking the course to score your essential assignments; I found the interaction with others to be minimal however. More interaction would add the final star to my ranking of this course. Enjoyed the course and learned, well worth the time.

The method of delivery of instructional materials could be varied from only the 'lecture' method to others including the lecture one. Also, various types of assessments in addition to the essay type-long answers including multiple choice and short answer could be employed. Finally, the a variety of questions can be asked not just a selected few.

Anyway, I am grateful to the instructors for taking time out to design and deliver the course.

As a professional teacher for almost eight years, I am still overwhelmed and passionate about discovering more about education. I recommend this course to those who would like to enhance their knowledge of education and pedagogy.

Thank you , Coursera Team for your great support when i was faced difficulty related to my course . It was a great help :) also i learned a lot new things about Learning

I'm so happy this course is accessible online. Thank you!

Very good class from experts in the field - thumbs up!

Interesting sociological point of view on Education systems. I especially appreciated the 8-Dimension Model. It is a helpfull model to learn and recognize principles and patterns in pedagogy that are often unconscious to people. The pledge for a reflexive, transformative pedagogy in this 21st Century is convincing.

Switching between coursera and their platform is annoying and makes it harder to organize things.

I strongly recommend “New Learning: Principles and Patterns of Pedagogy” Course for those who are passionate about Education or would like to embrace a new career challenge in teaching.

The lessons are very well organized and the key concepts thoroughly explained by B. Cope and M. Kalantzis.

I learnt a lot and above all, I truly enjoyed it !

The course is very informative. The flow from didactic pedagogy to transformative pedagogy was very enlightening. The two resource persons are experts in their field, hence, they were capable of providing us very deep discussion on the dimensions of the three models of pedagogy. I learned a lot from this course.

Very informative and challenging course. Thought-provoking issues. Interesting peer discussions and interaction. Inspiring professors.

Really worthwhile course especially at this time of a major disrupter creating a shift from the old to the new learning paradigm

Peer reviewed Projects/Assignments gave me a diversified knowledge of others opinions and improved my skills of writing essays.

Principles and Patterns of Pedagogy seemed to me ideal for a beginner to learn about best practices of each pedagigical approach. But I missed examples for best practices for each type of bedagogy. Example: Didactic pedagogy is ideal for learning new mathematical formulas in case of young students, and the ideal best practices within this type of pedagogy is: A), B) and C). This course did presented some characteristics of each pedagogy, and their history, but without training the typical best practices of each. It is like taking a basic course for learning car driving, and resulting in listening to a historical and sociological discussion about cars. This course was a delivered as a list of presentations. With more exercises between the videos, I would define it as typical didactical approach. From the contents submitted by learners, 50 % of the learners applied the learned definitions (didactic, authentic, new learning etc) in a wrong way. I am quite disappointed.

The links for review of others assignments are impossible to find for me. I would have appreciated clear instructions to access different areas/assignments. No 'help' section was visible to me.

This course served as a refresher course in education. however, along the way as I've got to learn more and more about pedagogy, I've got to learn, relearn and unlearn things in my understanding. in spite the difficulty in dealing with busy schedule, i stand tall and able to survive the quest. thank you Coursera, Illinois, and Professors Cope and Kalantzi for elevating my understanding and helping me perceived learning and teaching.

This is a useful course. Thanks to the two speakers for their enthusiastic guidance. Researching and proposing ways to implement transformative pedagogy helps learners to be updated with useful knowledge, first of all, to change their teaching methods to transform students into independent person, active learners, Live actively to contribute to building a freer and happier nation and world.

Thank you so much.

My warm thanks to Dr. Cope and Dr Kalantzis, learning never ends. This is just the beginning of my journey as educator. I love the thoughts about---Education as a Science. From now on, learning and completed this course with strong conviction, I should say that education is the foundation of all disciplines. This course is highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course! It met my expectations to learning more about the history of pedagogy and where we need to be heading.

Course content and materials meet the course objectives. The lecturers know how to disseminate the information in a succint and clear way.

Thank you Dr Cope and Dr Kalantzis.

It is an excellent course on pedagogy and different types of pedagogy involved in both older and modern education. It highlights many different techniques of learning. The course has been designed beautifully and structured systematically. The professors were well prepared and classes were well taken.

Enrolling for this Course has helped me to get a better understanding of the topics taught. The videos and other accompanying reading material made available in this Course were comprehensive, interesting and insightful. It helped me enhance essential skills required in the educational field.

This course provided me a chance to open my mind. I've read a lot of comments and shared my ideas as well as connected with people who have interesting points of view. Moreover, I've learned and applied knowledge into my teaching career. Thanks Coursera for creating this wonderful course.

I really enjoyed this course both in terms of the content, the style of the lecturers, the short video format that allowed me to squeeze in 10 minutes of learning between meetings and most of all the contributions and comments by other students - highly recommended.

This course provides a thought provoking review of the foundations of modern education - pedagogy. If you are involved in education, the course will give you insights into how education began and importantly where it is going and why.

This course is my first time experience with online learning and it was an amazing experience to study along with people from different parts of the world. Also the content and the mentors were amazing .THANK YOU!
