Missing Components

The first “missing” component I noticed was issues with grammar. There are quite a few areas where incorrect grammar has made explanations & instructions confusing or unclear. Many of the quiz/review questions are also unclear/confusing. It appears some of the questions also do not involve material that has been taught/explored. I cannot comment on alignment with learning outcomes as I do not see learning outcomes within any of the course topics. Organization is not uniform between the different topics. In my review I believe that this team could have made better use of the Google Classroom technology to organize thoughts and ideas in a more cohesive manner, and make the learning experience simple for student users.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths: Most topics include a good amount of information/resources for learning the content. For example, the topic “AI Within Mobile” includes a reading as well as a video that each include relevant content. There is also an optional activity within this topic that includes an additional video resource.

Another strength is the personal feeling of this ILR. Each topic includes an “Introduction” section where the creator of that topic introduces themselves and positively welcomes questions about the content.

Weaknesses: There are many grammar & punctuation errors within this Google Classroom, as well as issues with text alignment. For example, in the topic “AI Within Inclusive Learning” the text moves to the next line mid-sentence without filling the page first from left to right. This continues throughout the topic and is not uniform. 

Another issue which may stem from the grammar issues, is that some of the descriptions, content, and quiz questions are confusing and/or unclear.

Recommendations

Overall your learning resource has a personal welcoming feel and provides a general learning about the topic. You may want to consider reviewing grammar and organization to increase the clarity of the content you are teaching, as well as working together to create a uniform and cohesive flow throughout the entire Google Classroom. For example, take a look at the title of your last subtopic. It is currently titled “Art” which does not match the titles of other subtopics. And as for grammar, ensure sentences are ended with periods, text alignement is uniform, and sentences are not missing words.

Great job overall! 🙂
