 Prompt: What feedback have you received and what have you done as a result? Why? Given that many standard corporate ID projects last about 3 weeks and this is week 8 of the session, how do you feel about working on a professional timeline? Here is some of the feedback I have received and what I plan to do as a result to the specific feedback.   Feedback: Adding additional multimedia content to help flow of modules Response: Planning on adding some videos and more graphic/picture elements once all the basic content it up.  Feedback: Will the course include a discussion component.  Response: Planning on putting a module discussion boards in each overview for the students to have a place to ask each other questions.   Feedback: Some questions over timelines and how to self regulate the pace of the students.   Response: Will include a more detailed timeline of the course in the syllabus and add a suggested timeline in each overview.   ...
