“INST 6437 Interactive Distance Learning provided a great opportunity to put distance education theory into practice. Designing a Moodle course provided hands-on training and application of theories learned in class. This course provided an excellent use of free resources.”
“The rubrics and student examples from previous semesters were very helpful.”
“The layout was consistent, so once I figured out how it worked, it was dependably the same.”
“I have really enjoyed taking this course and learning more about using Moodle and the features that it has to offer. This course allowed me to enhance my knowledge while getting more practice in applying what I already knew and what I learned.”
“I have played around with Moodle in my district to do hybrid professional development. I found certain parts of it frustrating. Having a systematic process of learning the parts of Moodle that I could apply to something relevant to me was extremely helpful. I also enjoyed learning the history and current research in distance education. All of the activities were relevant.”
“The design of the course made a lot of sense and was easy to follow. Having the course broken down into “classes” allowed me to take things one step at a time.”
“This course was very valuable because it gave me a chance to put all of my previous coursework into practice. I really enjoyed having the hands on project and using Moodle was a very eye-opening experience.”
“The positives of the course are self-evident, at least to me. I thought I knew what distance education development was after having taken so many online courses. This course made it very clear to me that I really have only the slightest clue.”
“I did not think that I would enjoy the discussions as much as I did but it was a stand out in my mind and will certainly be a part of any online class that I design.”
“I especially appreciated the resources provided throughout the course which included detailed instructions on how to complete assignments, tutorials, and links to videos and web resources. I found here what I have found lacking in many other online courses and that is detailed instruction regarding how to complete the assignments and acquire the skills necessary to be successful in the course. Thank you Dr. Smith!”
