Jean,
Thank you for your detailed input. As you provide information to students like this on dicsussion boards, you are serving as a role model to them. This is great.
Trial and error does provide for learning, if you do learn from your mistakes. ;-) I like the connection you made between authoring the course and educational handouts. There is overlap: organization, pertinent information, learning objectives, etc.
I also like the "awareness" you mention. Students are all different. We cannot assume. Nice job.
