2004 Course Production


"It's been an amazing experience."

"I'm taking so much great information and so many new tools back with me. Your CID team turned me on to writing objectives that make sense to students."

"I think this is going to have a huge impact on the way I teach courses in the future...look at how much my PowerPoint slides have improved alone."

"I really feel like I'm on the leading edge with distance learning now."

"It's been a lot of hard work but worth it."

"I think that doing a whole course's lectures in such a short period of time has been helpful. I can build bridges between topics and lectures that I couldn't see before."

"The whole team here has been great...you have so much support in building your course. The CID team is excellent. The video team is outstanding. The whole thing works so well together. I know it will result in a great course."

"I will definitely be incorporating lessons learned here in both my teaching back home and in my next textbook."

"I want to now re-write my textbook. I see my teaching and lectures from a different angle...a student centered angle."

"This whole experience exceeded my expectations."

"What you are doing here is so important. This is the future of teaching."

"I've been involved in distance learning since the 70's. This is the first time I've seen it done right."

"I want to re-vamp my department's curriculum based on this whole thing."

"I can't wait to come back and do this again."

"I've just been amazed at the quality of the whole thing...the people, the equipment, the whole experience. I never expected this. You guys are very serious about doing this the right way and you have spent the money to make it work."

"I don't know if this will change how I teach in the classroom but I have discovered tie-ins between what I teach and other areas that I wasn't aware of...just being here with so many different instructors."

"This is the future of university level education."

"There are so many students around the world who don't have access to good instruction. You guys are doing this right."

"Building the online part of my class here made me think about how I teach the course...how I sequence the lectures and I realized that I needed to change it."

"This has been a lot of work...hard work...but I feel really good about the result. The students will gain so much from this."

"I know my topic very well. I just didn't realize how much I could learn about teaching my topic."

"This has been a real learning experience for me. I learned a lot about myself as an instructor."
