Moving towards the face of these glaciers that have carved my pedagogical landscape, ETEC 565a was my my ninth course in the MET program.

​

I wish I would have taken this course a little bit earlier in my MET journey; it teaches you to become a "mountaineer" in the design of learning management systems (LMS). Through student-led inquiry, you decide which medium would be the most valuable for you to investigate, then ultimately build a module of online learning within that medium, linking it to instructional design theories. I chose Moodle, for reasons further elaborated in my artifacts below.

Other key long-term learning from this course, which my artifacts will further illuminate, is the importance of timely reflections on learning and the importance of feedback.
