Hello Developers,

The peer advisor volunteers are rolling in and I wanted to make sure you knew what they were going to be looking for when they go into your courses beginning February 4th. As you finish your developments please make sure you keep these questions in mind. They will be answering the following questions:

• Do you feel that the content in the course is written at the appropriate level?
• Is the course split into manageable segments?
• Are visual and auditory stimuli used to motivate students?
• Are appropriate supplementary resources made available as part of the course content?
• Does the use of technology enable critical reflection and analysis of content?
• Do the assignments/activities that require the use of technology clearly explain how technology is to be used by the students?
• Do you believe the instructional strategies employed in the course cause students to be effectively engaged with course content?
• Do you believe that the expectations defining or explaining required levels of student participation are clear?
• Do you believe there is a deliberate attempt to create a learning community through the following methods: Discussions, E-mail, Chat Rooms, Videoconferencing, Group Projects, or other collaborative activities?
• Do you believe the assessments/assignments in the course are aligned with the stated objectives/learning outcomes?

If you finish the development of your course early please drop me an e-mail to let me know

Enjoy your week!
