Goal 3: To construct effective delivery of courses, topics, or training by using existing CMS tools.

The readings and group discussion were very valuable in this course, especially when we created the course in Blackboard. We were allowed to create a course on a topic of interest and collaborate with other classmates to develop it. My group developed an ELA professional development course. In creating this course we thoughtfully planned the design, content, engagement of the learners and assessments in this course according to the readings and previous assignments. After creating the course, other classmates were "enrolled" into our course to evaluate it according to the rubrics we created earlier in the semester. Overall, our course was given lots of positive feedback.

This assignment was important to me because I had the opportunity to apply everything I have learned about distance education. I now have a greater understanding of the time and critical thought that goes into these courses. After completing this assignment, I think that I am capable of creating, planning, and evaluating online courses.
