The readings are interconnected throughout the lessons, making it easy for me to understand the lesson completely. More interactive materials aside from discussion prompts are recommended.

The amount of information given is great. The way the information was given was poor. For a course that emphasizes student interaction, engagement, different ways to present information, etc., it followed none of the advice. ALL the information is disseminated via readings. Hours and hours of reading. Even one video per module would have helped break up the monotony. Having a face talking, even in a recording, can make a difference for visual learners. Hearing a voice talk about the information can help auditory learners. The presentation of this course is very weak.

Some engaging content but much of it is out of date, particularly some of the different platforms for virtual education. Very American-centric during some weeks with the focus on funding and legislation. Quizzes are common sense or recall of very specific facts eg. which school wouldn't get funding under x model.

It was too much laws, and LMS examples. I do not need this to be a good teacher. I am glad this course is over, and am looking forward to other ones.

Did not add beneficial meaning to my progress as a virtual educator. The quizes felt more like trivia than application of knowledge.

This was basically one huge block of text after another without much information that isn't common knowledge in this day and age. There were maybe a few details about the history of distance learning that were new, but I feel I could have learned most of this through Google or at this point in 2020 any Middle Schooler. It was obviously updated recently in the least innovative way possible. Yikes.

No option of completing the course without paying. So why do you call your site FREE online courses? And why do we have to go into the trouble of attending the class and watching the videos, and reading the material without being capable of at least watching our results in assignments?

I have done all of the assignments, but there is not anyone to review your assignments, and you cannot review anyone else's assignments. Therefore the information is just information and the information is not exciting.
