Keeping things contemporary is important. Bringing in fresh ideas about Edtech is great!
Good Course
Gave me something to think about.
Development is difficult in the present situation, though not impossible. While there's a need to recognise when change is required should a system that's working well be changed for the sake of it?
Good
good, logical
I am finding the wording of the tasks a bit confusing and it hard to see what feedback there is per question so not sure I am getting as good feedback as I could be. It seemed to say 'your answers are different to ours' but I couldn't see how mine were different / which were right or wrong the first time?. At second attempt I did get them all right.
Kept saying my answers were wrong. Kept putting in what I thought was right. Then just ticked all of them and they let me see answers and again the ones I had been putting in all along were right. Quite confusing and takes the emphasis off the learning
More proof reading is required. Ditital instead of digital was really obvious as it was on screen for a length of time. Not the first time that I have notice errors!
