I just completed EL102 and overall I felt it was a great course and reinforced many practices that I have learned over the years I have been teaching online. It was a great refresher! I appreciate the opportunity.

Hello Thomas,
You're very welcome! Yes, I agree the introductory courses are very good; however, I was very curious about the course content of EL101, since I am a course developer. I was very much satisfied and impressed with the thoroughness of the entire course. I appreciate your comments!
