This course was excellent! My AHA moment came to me while completing the assignment for the feasibility activity, and SECTIONS report assignment. My goal is to design a course consisting of 12 units/weeks, which will be considered an elective at the College level. This goal may be too ambitious for me now that I am aware of all the considerations in designing a full course. I have to reflect and consider my options carefully. Perhaps my course should be less detailed and shorter in duration.
I have empathy for the thousands of educators who were thrown in the position of transitioning their face to face classes into an online format due to COVID-19. I cannot imagine how some educators were confused, sad, angry, disappointed, etc. when they were almost overnight forced to learn how to design their courses. I have the luxury of developing my course because it is new and has not been submitted to the College for approval.
