Wow, I really appreciated everything but especially the LinkedIn portion 

 

writing down something I'm thankful for each day!

 

great ideas, everyone. Yes, making work relevant to students is very important.

The ED 135 course provided excellent information on the various generations for learning. This is so very helpful for my online teaching. Because of this course, I now realize the importance of helping to make connections to real life applications in my lessons for Gen Y and Gen Z especially.

I've truly appreciated this ML 135 course. I'm looking forward to creating to do lists in a new light (factoring in cushions for the unexpected) --- that I really haven't done in the past, even though the unexpected events arise.

Excellent thoughts, Natalie and Agnes! I agree: these days technology is moving fast. While all the technological advances can be wonderful, the importance of copyright remains more essential than ever. The development of online courses really needs to pay close attentioin to copyright guidelines. Clark, Mulligan, and Baba (2011) emphasize the detail in creating online courses. Thank you for sharing.

I am continually assessing for potential revision of online courses. No online course can just remain stagnant. It is imperative to have a solid revision process. Bernstein (2013) noted the continually evolving of online courses, specifically mentioning those courses in the science field --- changes are necessary to remain current with the times. Reference Bernstein R. (2013). Education evolving: teaching biology online. Cell. 2013 Dec 19;155(7):1443-5. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2013.11.038.

EL 112 was a wonderful note to end my 12 course load with! For development of a solid learning environment, I agree with the "seven principles for good practice in undergraduate education" as referenced in Module 1 of EL 112 by Chickering and Gamson (1987). Sowan and Jenkins (2013) also speak of "seven principles of effective teaching to designing and delivering an undergraduate nursing research course in a hybrid format affected course quality" and note that such principles proved to bring great satisfaction in nursing courses (p. 315).
