If I was rating how much learnt and how much I enjoyed the course, I would be giving a 5 star review. My only feedback is that a lot of the resources linked to at the end of each section are quite dated, and in this particular area (teaching online), there's been so much change since COVID lockdowns, it would be terrific to have the material updated. I also appreciated the support I received when I had a technical snag in the MOOC. Thank you to everyone involved in providing this course, it was just what I was looking for to assist in my current work and further study. Kath

Sincere thanks to Prof. Simon and Dr Nigen for designing this online course comprehensively. I have learned much about the online teaching world and the course has definitely helped alleviate most of my fears regarding the online teaching experience that I will soon have. The course has plenty of resource materials that I found useful (I couldn't access a few sites or 'find the pages' that were listed. I am unsure what went wrong unfortunately. Would have loved to access those materials too.)

On the whole it was a very fruitful course for a beginner like me.

I really enjoyed and benefitted from the course. It touched on all key components that we are currently experiencing as teachers since the pandemic started.

The only suggestion I have is that the University should also be involved in evaluating the assignments that are graded. I feel, from my experience, that the people that did evaluate were not necessarily well experienced or expert enough in doing so.

All in all, I will recommend this course to my teacher friends for sure.

Thank you

The online course was really detailed with a lot of material for reference and videos to guide the learning. I also enjoyed the discussion forums and learnt a lot from them. The assignment was very practical and ensured that I began figuring out how to start planning and implementing online teaching.

However, I felt that the time was not sufficient to review all the material and videos provided in the said time of 17 hours. I enjoyed the course all the same.

It would be useful to update the course with new information about online tools/platforms for teaching, training or facilitation. Some links offered in the resources do not work anymore. The pandemic accelerated the development of this activity and the course stays at the level of 2014, as I could understand. However it is well structured and has a lot of useful links and information!

The professors were very helpful in their introductions and post-feed back on student questions. The course was a little video-heavy, but there are plenty of other resources offered for additional learning. I thought the assignments and discussion boards were beneficial but noticed many students didn't take them seriously. Overall, I am satisfied with this course and what I learned.

THIS Course gives you a great insight to teaching online , Most of us started recently due to the Covid 19 situation. great resources. and you will learn a ton especially from the assignment and the community .

Hope to attend next level course since teaching online is not an option any more, it is the new reality .

Thanks a lot for the journey :)

Thank you for all your effort! It was very helpful for me. One little suggestion I have is to update some of the resources becuae the course had been designed n 2015 and some of the resources are outdated. Also, in the year 2020, the need of the instructors ,students and the capability of the technology might probaly have changed.

A very timely and relevant course at the time most higher-education institutions have been essentially forced to take the digital leap as a reaction to the Covid-19 crisis. Whilst it touches on all the areas relevant in this new normal, it might be worthwhile updating some of the content towards the online only reality.

The course is really complete and easy to carry out even with a full-time job, 3 to 4 hours of effort is enough.

I enjoyed the modules and resources, maybe it could be improved by supporting it with more educational theories and literature, but the experience from fellow educators from schools and universities is great.

It is very informational which enable you to learn a lot of things. However, if there will be I could suggest to make it more convenient and easy to use for all ages, there shall be a summary of all the activities to answer, and once you click each of those, it will redirect you to that particular activity.

+ Videos = short but informative

+ Self-evaluations = tailored to individual teaching categories (K-12, ESL, etc)

+ Resources = many worthwhile articles to read, consult and download.

+ Projects = challenging and well explained

_ Discussion forums - not so helpful

A lot of links from the recommendations do not work. I think the course name should be changes to Developing Online Training Technologies or something to that effect. But I learnt a lot from this, which is what I needed for my future endeavours.

Peer review has to be better managed. My work was peer reviewed by colleagues within the same institution to which we have a mutual dislike. This personal rift could have affected my grading outcome.

A well designed course, that gave me greater options to teaching online than I previously knew about. The videos from CoFA had some glitch and may possibly need a different server for better access.

I have learnt alot in this course. Thanks to the instructors for their wonderful instructor presence. I have learnt about new online teaching tools and some ethics about teaching.

Very interesting and useful with meaningful content and supporting material. But a bit outdated because it is not discussing the impacts of AI in teaching

It was a nice learning experience. I suggest to give more room (more flexible schedule) to submit tasks and reports. Overall was good.

This course offers a tremendous amount of resources. My field is adult continuing education so some of the content did not apply.

The course obviously met my desire for a skills upgrade. I can now approach online teaching methodically with confidence. Excited.

Comprehensive course if you have never attempted to teach online. Some of the links and resources shared should be updated!

The topics were clearly presented and explained though I am not ok with being graded by peers from different fields...

Excellent guidance and online ungraded activity also helps in improving the concept of online teaching learning activity

The course is great.

it introduces the audience to many learning online tools that could be perfect to teacher's career.
