Blog: Now that you have seen what other people did in creating their units, is there anything that you might do differently if you were to redesign your own unit?
I particularly like the online survey that Adrienne and Tiffany included at the end of their course unit. It made me wonder on the importance of listening to the needs of our target, the students. I am taking a course at TC right now, called mobile phone learning. Speakers are invited to give a presentation on their niche areas every week, and we are invited to fill up a survey on the effectiveness of the session and ways that can be improved after the session. Knowing the needs of our students is important and doing so at a regular basis, instead of at the end of the course, lets the instructional designer alter the course material if necessary. In fact, this might be even more important since it is an online course where facial cues are not available. I would definitely consider including one when designing a course next time.
