TestimonialsThe discussion posts have been very reflective and encouraging.
I think the course touched many subjects and was easy to understand even for those who have never been in an aboriginal education environment. The material was easily accessible and the assignments were very reflective.

TestimonialsI really appreciated the structure and clarity of the course. Though I already knew a lot that was presented in the content, still, I learned a great deal more. And I had never taken a MOOC! So this was a great opportunity for me to take a course where I did know a great deal about the content previously, but also course acquire some new knowledge about taking an online course. The videos were terrific! And I shared them in my own teaching. Ho'waa

TestimonialsOne area of potential with the MOOC format is that I can see different groups and communities taking this course together and working through the units with organized times for off-line discussions as well as online. I took this course as an individual but found myself bringing the topics and themes into various conversations with friends and colleagues. For that reason, I'd really recommend taking this course with a friend or group of friends to go through together. In fact, I am recommending the course to my teaching colleagues! So much to learn and so many ideas to take straight into an educational environment.
