Key challenges
The course isn’t entirely practical as it seems
Yes, I found the Learning Designer tool extremely helpful and it is quite useful for focusing my attention on getting a better mix of TLAs. However, I am still not entirely convinced that this course is entirely practical for me because I work in a multi-grade primary education setting. The tools shared by the instructor seem to be better suited for Higher education environments. That is why I feel this course did not meet my expectations the way I was hoping. (Helen O)
