The course gives an excellent foundation of Instructional Design. It outlines the basic ideas and different theories and analysis required to become an Instructional Designer.

The tests were really difficult and the multiple answer questions mixed with the multiple choice and true and false made it nearly impossible to pass. The tests really need to be restructured.

I've started a similar course on linkedin learning and it's ten times shorter and more to the point

This course should be more project based and less quiz based.

This is course need to be evaluated, tested in production before going live. The transcripts don’t match the video and have poor grammar and missing words. The peer review is pointless. Most of all I don’t feel as if I learned about ID. I learned more about the history than the topic. Also, the quizzes were an embarrassment. Most had incorrect answers when you base them on the reading and videos. The worst is Module 4 quiz. I took this multiple time with no success. Reading the comments about this quiz I can see there is a high rate of issues with this quiz. I was also shocked to see the high number of students who didn’t have resources for help. When asking other students and this quiz the response was the same amount of frustration. Many of them couldn’t pass thus failed the course. I paid for this “course” but I do feel as though I was taken for my money. How can they teach us about ID when this class shows what not to do for a company. The University of Illinois should investigate this as their name is on this course. I do feel as if the Coursera site is a scam!!

Information was useful, but the assessments were terrible- the worst designed assessment of any course I have taken so far. As an educator myself who is heavily involved in standardized testing, you do not use "Select ALL" MCQ choices in your questions- this is ambiguous and does not promote learning. The instructors really need to work on improving this course!

This is a course on how to do instructional design, but it really should be considered as a course on what NOT to do. Don't include long video lectures. Make your assessments match your content. This is absolutely horribly put together.

Worst class I have taken. Excruciatingly boring except for the lady from South America and the man who talked about PM and SMEs. The quizzes were way too difficult. Why can't you make this course good like the MBA class?

The lectures are incredibly dry and difficult to sustain interest. I find it ironic that a course on design and instruction could be so unengaging.
