Some of the information was not very clear. There could have been clearer examples.

This course was extremely difficult. Many questions were written poorly and were unclear as to what it was specifically asking about. One question started with "Jay" went to a conference and at the end of the question his name was changed to "James"....that's one example of lack of attention to detail. Or "Identify what is TRUE about TPACK" when doing research is it extremely vague as to what aspects of TPACK are correct. The videos do not reflect easy navigation to find answers. Some questions are so broad that it's almost impossible to "guess" what the right answer is...please pay more attention to giving specific detail in the questions. I believe videos should be the first step and questions should come next. Not questions first and then an optional video. Videos and questions need to be closely compared so that students can better match answers with what they learn in the videos.

Since I have been teaching for almost 20 years, this course felt more like a theory course you might take as a new teacher. However, it's still good to freshen up on the new educational lingo and acronyms.

Lot’s of great information and review of major educational frameworks but overly complex questioning on nuances that don’t help transform the instruction or instructor.
