Overall interesting and well done. Some of the quiz questions are a bit "in the weeds" for a graduate level course. The instructors are excellent.

Only include the first step of instructional design. The videos mostly provides the theories, there is not a lot of examples (how to apply the theories in real world)

Great course - I am a credentialed teacher and it was super helpful in systemising both what I learned a long time ago and what I have observed in my years of teaching.
