Week 5 Reading Reaction - Blend Kit 2015



This week’s reading addresses a question that I have had from the very beginning which is “How will I know if the course I design is “sound” prior to and during the time I am teaching it.  Fortunately the readings included several standards that help developers design courses.  Although there is no “one size fits all” model, the rubrics and forms were very helpful.  I personally liked the Blended Course Peer Review Form the best as it made me aware of some initial start up items I still need to work on.  I jumped right in to the first learning module for my DIY tasks forgetting all about the “orientation” module.  This is something I will be working on in the coming weeks.  For the checklist by the University of Wisconsin, I received an error message so if anyone reading this blog has a better link, I would appreciate it. 
Another item I did not consider in my own course design, although the online courses I teach utilized them at the end of each term, is an end of course evaluation.  This can be accomplished through a simple online survey so other than just putting it together; this should not be too much of a problem setting up.
