As a retired educator, I found the online learning videos short and succinct. I realise this helps learners with shorter attention spans, but I would have welcomed longer videos, say up to 15 minutes. The audio was different in various videos. Louder, softer, slower and faster. I noticed up to three written mistakes - typos, grammar etc. The quizzes were well designed in testing retention of information and identifying behaviour in the videos gives students some immediate autonomy. I feel students would have enjoyed this, as I did. However, only having multiple choice questions in the exam, in my opinion, is testing students’ understanding in a somewhat limited fashion. I would have included a video or two of a person being interviewed and provide multiple choice questions about needs, decisions and values. This could be expanded by having questions with a space where students write 1-3 sentences explaining why they chose that answer. This would require a human to check answers which doesn’t fit with an automated, digital system, however you would be losing valuable feedback on how well students are learning from the course methodology.
