Wrapping Up

Whew! This was a challenging course, and we chose a challenging project – to redesign a course.  Of course, these are mere suggestions but these are suggestions that we are also considering for our own online courses we are developing.  There are two things that I take with me from this course:

• Student characteristics and group dynamics are big factors to be considered in designing our courses.
• Online learning communities are great tools with big potential that we should take advantage of.
