"Instructional Design for Online Learning is a great model for anyone who is considering online or hybrid instruction. It is very well structured and facilitated, the content is engaging, and it encourages communication among students – all, I believe, key criteria for a quality online course."

"One of the aspects that I discovered as valuable, was the knowledge that the instructor was in my corner. She desired for me to be successful, and she incorporated the resources I needed to make this happen. … Through taking this course, I have become increasingly aware of the human component. I see more clearly the value of increased appropriate instructor presence on the discussion board."
