Testimonials:

I found this course to be informative, useful and engaging. I enjoyed this and will definitely use what I have learned in these modules. Thanks for the info!!



Really good course with concepts and tools that can be implemented into my courses without too much prep work!



I enjoyed this course immensly. It really stimulated my creative thinking and gave me many new ideas of how to put more fun and kinesthetic practice into my courses. Some of my ideas will take prep time but I am anxious to try them and see what feedback I get from my students. I did some of the forums several times and I also printed off the screens so I can keep them and refer to them as time goes by. Thank you for making that option available. I did get anxious during the final assessment because I was interuppted by a student concern and was hoping my uncompleted test did not disappear during my absence. This is a wonderful course. I will definitely recommend it to my colleagues.



I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The strategies discussed are do-able, adaptable and educator/learner-friendly. I now have additional meaningful instructional tools in my arsenal. Thank you.



I liked all the fun and different ideas to better teach my students. I thought the quizzes and tests were reflective of the material.
