I think sometimes the assessments (quizzes) were too specific on language so if you understood the concept, sometimes the way it was said was so specific it made it incorrect.

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)

I liked the course very much, especially the pedagogical aspects that were revisited in a very clear and organised way. The only thing I believe could be better is the content module ratio. I founde the third modulo too dense, with too much information to digest.

Course is well organized. I am a practitioner and true enough, the course heavily focused on its foundations and applications thus I will highly recommend this course for novice and seasoned Instructional Designers and Learning and Development Practitioners.

It was good learning, for someone without prveious experience. I find there is complexity on the ways tests were created with respond with "all that apply" , and some videos are very long - What I liked is the example base approach , thank you

Very informative. I had to work hard to pay attention to some of the presentors as they were monotone and didn't use presentation skills to engage the learner. However, I was very engaged because they were providing very salient information.

Overall, I liked the course and I enjoyed the most videos about Instructional Design in a higher educational institution!

However, some of the quizzes were very confusing and I did not like "Please, select all that apply" questions at all.

The tests were really difficult and the multiple answer questions mixed with the multiple choice and true and false made it nearly impossible to pass. The tests really need to be restructured.

I found this course to be very enlightening though somewhat challenging for me. I believe as I continue to review lecture notes and additional course readings, my confidence will increase.

the subject is really interesting but a bit too theoretical. Some of the videos were really hard to follow due to the tone of the speaker. Overall great for fistcomers in the field

A lot of good information, but quizzes are difficult and in Module 3, there is a full video which is then broken into 2 shorter parts, yet that is not well described.

It's interesting and I have learnt a lot. I would be great if a couple of videos could be more dynamic, sometimes the voice and facial language were really boring.

Content is excellent and the way it is presented as well. The writing assignments contributed to my understanding and development, but the quizzes did not.

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.

It gave me a better understanding of the process of creating learning and what needs to be considered and applied in building effective learning.

Some questions were incorrect no matter the answer which caused frustration. But overall, I liked the notes aspect and reading the script.
