I Love and appreciate these kind of content focused lectures rather than showcasing animations that have nothing to do with the objectives. Great lessons and huge respect to you.

The course was fine as an overview of teaching online. The instructor was excellent - very pleasant and engaging. The most effective sections were the first 3 or 4 sections - they contained more evergreen content. The remaining sections were much more focused on perishable app information. I paid the discounted rate for this course and I think the discounted rate was the right price. The "sticker price" is too high for a course that is somewhat outdated and too generalized.

Learning more about the apps and more of recording options was really helpful, I knew about "self-paced classes" not knowing the term was "asynchronous Learning". I would really like to learn more about these and develop my skills . I also learned how to manage my extenstions and pin them.

it's easy to follow, fun but educational and chopped into little chunks of information. the instructor comes across as friendly and engaged in the topics she talks about.

The whole duration of this course is very helpful and very informative. Easy to understand and It's a big help now I can start and Facilitate Electronic Learning Session to my Barista Class using different platform. Thank You so much

This course met my expectations, and the information is still relevant for online teaching. As this course was last updated in 2020, will the creator release an updated version for 2025?

I am excited! I just did an overview of the course, and planning to learn all that slowly and mastering all of it. However, I already know a lot more than I knew before about online teaching. You have done an excellent job!! I want to do online teaching/tutoring and this is going to be very helpful. Thank you for doing it! :)

Good overview on how to teach online, clearly focused on the topic (without the typical deepdive into learning and teaching in general), and with some insights that will prove very helpful im my teaching in future.
By Veronika gamarra on 9/23/2020
This course is a great tool for all teachers in current and future times, but not only for them. It also works for anyone wanting to create their own product. I want to congratulate the facilitator for the excellent work, and the didactic language used to carry out the course, is highly recommended and accessible, the tools that she presents make us see that the use of technology is accessible and easy to use. Five stars for the teacher and thank you for the opportunity to have shared the course with me.

As an educator and course designer, I can say this was the best course I have taken in a long time. I will be recommending it to my colleagues and to my department. There are many many advantages to this low-cost and thoroughly prepared course, where people at all levels of tech knowledge can gain new insights. Here are some highlights: 1. Morgane's presentation is cheerful, concise, and packed with information. Even for very experienced digital natives and educators, there are many insights and tips that will benefit you. 2. The information is divided up into very digestible bits, with few videos lasting more than 5 minutes. 3. There is much pedagogical wisdom here, partly because, as Morgane says at the start, she has done extensive interviewing of successful teachers. 4. Morgane is very empathetic of some of the more frustrating aspects of teaching online, but is also quite respectful of the profession. You never feel talked down to. 5. The range of the course is wonderful, everything from tips on collaboration to advice on gear, but always with an eye to efficiency and economy. 6. The overall organization is pleasing and very easy to follow. You can return to this course and quickly access this valuable information. 7. The section on building your own course and having independent revenue streams is very encouraging and empowering. Great work by Morgane and a highly useful course at this point in time!
