Such important information for us all. This course was eye-opening and should really be taken by every Canadian. The course flows along nicely and is easy to navigate. I am better for having taken it.

This course was very interesting and very informative. Not only did it help correct stereotypes or prejudices, it showed a wide range of subjects pertaining to global and specific Indigenous cultures.

Great learning content, but the instructional methods is lacking (e.g., many things as described by a speaker, but not shown on screen, for example artwork)

The course pulled the majority of the data from the 1990’s. I feel a lot has changed in 25 years. I feel more currant data could have been represented.

I wish the videos shared as much knowledge as the notes. I feel like the course itself deserves to be much longer but some knowledge is better than none.

Not engaging enough for readers. it can be simplified by focusing on the essentials. Too many details make you miss the main goal behind this course.

While the topic was interesting, the format was not engaging. 12 lessons with the same limited interaction; video then quiz. It got a bit dry.

A lot of blanket statements and not a lot of evidence presented. Overall, it was very informative and eye opening.
