Hello everyone,

Correction: the course I completed is EL101.

I just completed EL101 and found it to be a very exciting, creative and informational course. As an Course Developer and SME; I found this course to be 'right on target' and left out nothing to chance. I believe it enhanced my skills and knowledge. Great course!

Best...
