borderColor=#c0c0c0\| titleBGColor=#FF8C00\| bgColor=#FFFFFF}{*}Unique integration of technology* \\
\\
* The availability of iTunes U and other audio clips to supplement written content types is a great way to help address multiple learning styles. \\
* The course uses audio and video to reinforce content, especially through audio overviews, audio weekly summaries, discussion activities and individualized oral feedback for assessments. \\

*Impressive organization and presentation* \\

* The course overview ("Start Here" link) is a terrific step-by-step orientation to the course requirements, related resources, campus departments and people, and assistance. The clearly-presented, logical flow of this and other modules is a real "stand-out" in this course. \\
* The organization of each weekly module with a very detailed and step-by-step agenda is a VERY impressive feature of this course and one that surely helps students become organized and stay on task. The course design is well structured, consistent, and easy to follow. The overall design elements, really interesting and compelling, surely help students to successfully complete this course. \\
* The look and feel of the course is top-notch. The Splash page is beautiful, logical and divides the content into manageable segments. The colors and images were well-made, instructionally appropriate and helpful for navigation. \\

*Strong focus on content* \\

* The depth of assignments provide students with opportunities to process and interact with the content. This is obviously the strength of the course design. \\
* The course ties all of the content and activities to the desired learning outcomes in a logical and thoughtful manner. \\
