Future Consideration
Hi Everyone,
Thanks very much for all the great discussions, input, and ideas. I definitely know that I will be drawing upon a lot of them as I continue to progress through education and administration.
I have two suggestions for revisions to this course. The first is a minor structural one, where I’d have liked the embedded links to have opened in new tabs instead of them hijacking the current window and then have move back and forth between the two sites. My second suggestion would be to create some drop-down discussion forum pages for the various units and section, as it would make it easier to review and find peoples work rather than scrolling through pages of older posts.
Overall I’d say this was a well designed and executed course though.

I agree Dave, lots of good learning to use for the future.
Agree too about your two suggestions.

Dave,
some very practical suggestions for ease of course navigation through a blog platform such as this. While I see the value of having everything ‘out there’ in regards to this course creating an OER, it does point to some obvious disadvantages when compared to an LMS platform. Your point was made extra clear this week as I was hunting down the venture pitches assigned to me for evaluation. It would have been great if this somehow made easier and less time consuming. Perhaps we could have each created our own subpage?

Hi Dave,
I agree with both of your suggestions. I struggled with the navigation in this last section of the course, as well as in weeks one to three as older posts were several pages back, making them time consuming to locate. It would also be nice to have a full list of who had posted comments into each post instead of person 1, person 2, person 3 and xx others are discussing. When I pop into the course throughout the week, it would be nice to quickly see which posts I had responded to and which ones I hadn’t.
