What a wonderful course. I can honestly say I learned more in this course than in most of the others as I can apply so much of it to my classes oniine.

 This course was excellent and I am determined to get more tools that I can use online to  support collaboration and project learning include wikis, blogs, discussion boards and audio tools such as Audacity, Skype and Adobe Connect.

I also am going to work on the critical thinking as the ability to self reflect is a wonderful attribute for students.  to be a fully well rounded person you have to be a  good critical thinker. Helping students to better self understand and be engaged is a wonderful tool we can give them

I am still learning and enjoyed learning  in the Adaptive learning course.  I will incorporate  key skills like playing games, having fun, progressing to higher levels, earning points, earning a higher status, completion and others, appeal to a wide variety of students in my class.

I found this course to be very benefical to me as an instructor of science and would recommend it to everyone.  Critical thinking is one of the best skills we can give our students today

Loved this courese

This course was both very interesting and very helpful to me as it had some excellent ideas. I can not wait to start using some of them in the classroom and also adapting other to suit online classroom. Aisling
