I enjoyed the teachers and I can see so many connections to my life and my teaching. So much to think about. Thank you for inspiring me to continue to learn.

I really appreciated when the Teacher twice quoted the Sioux Lookout Anti Racism Committee. Being from Sioux Lookout we don't get much recognition and it perked me right up.

A bit heavy on the classroom videos. Maybe some streamlining of the discussion and introductions to other videos.

This course would be great for any non-indigenous person seeking more knowledge on Indigenous People.

Great information, even so many years after "recording" provides good foundation.

It was a good course, but having to hunt for actual links to things was a pain.

I think the scope of the course is excellent. Another informed viewpoint, another method of learning the importance of cultural sensitivity and another perspective of educating myself. It was excellent in that regard. However, I found the course material hard to follow and I was only able to access the notes, not the videos so relied on those to assist with my learning.

I felt like there were elements that could have been explained better especially when the narrative went off on a tangent and never recovered. I feel like there are pieces of information missing from the whole course and I am left hoping that I just missed something. It seemed to ramble a bit in places, but then my learning style may not be wholly suited to this teaching style.

The information presented in the course was great. I found many of the lectures dragged and at times were repetitive. The thing I found most frustrating was links that did not work or were not there. I was able to search for links to suggested websites and was able to find most of them.

This has such potential, yet the lack of updates, the difficulty of finding readings and supplementary videos is frustrating and takes far too much time.

I am surprised that OISE is leaving a course from 2012 with now outdated facts and information in the recordings. They should look to the Univeristy of Alberta for a high quality MOOC course.

Paul as a lecturer is interesting and it is sad that his recordings from 2012 are being touted as a course to take now, in 2021.

If I knew how to unenroll and get my money back I would do that immediately.

This is an incredible course, however, none of the readings or links are accessible or available. I strongly suggest reviewing the course and either reconnecting the resources or rewriting it with accurate or similar readings and links. It is difficult to navigate without the proper resources. I do not think the assignments will be properly completed without the course materials.

I was disappointed with this course. It appears to be filmed circa 2012, making it 9 years old. A number of the links to content were broken. The content and how it was delivered were dated. Some of the videos were in low resolution. It is a topic I am interested in. MOOCs have evolved since 2012. The course could be improved by refreshing the materials.

I am very disappointed with this course. I am only on Week 1 and many of the videos are unavailable and article links are not provided. I also noticed there are very few responses to chat questions.
