I think it's a great course for people who are interested in Educational Psychology. I recommend it for those who are "beginners" or in other words, who haven't quite studied psychology yet.

Good course, At first, it través for the básica and educational theories which are great, but at week 3 and week 4 lets you know more current issues in the educational field.

It was a great course to start with some psychological theories related to learning.

Very insightful course! In my eyes, the last chapter was too in-depth and complex.

The course began well, with an overview of educational theories, but the second unit on social-emotional learning focused too narrowly on the single issue of bullying, the third unit on quantitative methods focused too narrowly on one case study of the classification of English Language learners. The final unit, on brain development in adolescents and early adults was again interesting.

I found it rather hard to follow the speaker / professors in the course. The slides shown contain very much content and for me that seems not very useful. Furthermore sometimes they seem just to read down the slides... For me there are better learning alternatives as this course was not very appealing.

I found most of the information interesting and applicable. On the other hand, the material was non-sequential and felt disjointed. Each section had little to do with the previous and it seemed more like a collection of lectures rather than a well-rounded certificate program to introduce the learner to the title topic. Also, the format for submitting work was confusing and was (unnecessarily) linked to another site that made it complicated in reviewing work. And speaking of grading, too often there were not enough peers to review work. This require that sections could not be completed when the learner wanted to put in the time to do the work. Expect to return to this course outside of anticipated times or be ok with moving on to other sections without assurance of completion. Case in point: I finished all of my submitted work on a Thursday but did not receive my completed certificate until the next Monday. On the other hand, it is a short course and can be completed quicker than other certiciates I've worked on.

The format of the assignment is really hard to navigate. Also the way questions are formatted they need better structure.

Dr Kalantzis talks as though she were reading the content on the teleprompter for the first time. A jerky, stuttering delivery that distracts significantly from the content. Unenrolling.

It is too complicated and time consuming. especially the peer reviewed assignments. this course is ok for young students not for academicians. I wish to discontinue the course.
