    Course Reflection
    1.What are your observations about the topics in each of our chapters, which chapters and discussions did you like best and which ones you did not care for.

    It was great course in the systemic design in the content. At the end of the course, I felt we covered most if not all the topic related to the communication skills that we could face in our daily life. I liked the most the idea of the PowerPoint presentation, Elluminate session, and most of the topics in this course.

    2.What are your impressions of using the class blog, e-portfolio, the voice-over software as additional communication and learning strategies?

    These instruction methods were one of the best and effective ideas in this course. All of these methods were critical topics in the communication all over the world.

    3.What are your reflections about the development of the learning community among our class members?

    Personally, I learned a lot of knowledge and experience from this class content and members. Sharing our knowledge and professional and life experiences with each other will for sure enhanced our life and professional skills in the near and long term future. Communication is one of the crucial topics that we are facing as adult as daily bases all over the world. Understanding and mastering the communication skills and knowledge will be for sure great help for us in our classroom, home, workplace, and community.

    4. In comparing this class with other on-line classes, are the instructional strategies used in this course effective or different than other classes you have taken?

    It was different and very effective to use these methods in this course. I think the class will be more effective if we have more time and sessions to meet with each other over one of the audio and/or videoconferencing software to have life discussion about the topics.

    Dr. T and I are pleased to have a sharing student, like you, at this course. You always bring extra contributions related to the assigned reading to us. How lucky we are to have you learn together this semester.

    I hate to say goodbye at this wonderful interactive course; however, time goes continually. Hope I will meet you in the
    future online course. :-)

    I am glad to hear you enjoyed this class. Dr. T and I started discussing the ADOL 576 course design last November. After having a lot of brainstorming between us, we hope this course could be a role model in online education at the U of I.

    I think Dr. T and I made it in some way!!

    Enjoy your day!

  5. Thank you Ahmed great information on class reflection. I thought that our class discussions were great as well and I learned a lot in our group discussions. I also put on my reflection paper that I thought that we should have more interaction like the elluminate maybe do it once a month. Thanks
