Highlights: This course was rated positively for its design and content. It was highly rated for appropriate, clear objectives; for its alignment with state standards; and for its ease of use.
Limitations: Although there is a discussion board, the format does not encourage extensive interaction with colleagues. The primary delivery structure for the course consists of video lectures. Although the presentations could be used as a basis for a learning community, the program is not designed with that purpose in mind.
