Hello pod 1,

Thank you for sharing a great interactive learning resource. pod1’s interactive learning resource is very clear in its typography using colors, fonts and panels to delineate the focus and explain each section and key information very clearly. In particular, the strengths of the teaching model are listed and explained, making it more convincing.

The course structure is designed to be inclusive. It can cater to single parents whose English is not their first language and who work full time, etc. to create good learning conditions. The course is asynchronous and can be taken at one’s own pace to meet individual needs. The course is asynchronous, allowing for individualized learning at one’s own pace. For introductory courses, it fosters more interest and independent learning.

Learning outcomes are clearly marked. Learners can directly recognize if the course is something they are interested in and want to learn more about. The strategy also includes a learning plan for English learners and single parents with two children who work full-time. With this strategy, they can complete the course more easily, and ELLs can even improve their English beyond the course instruction.

I especially like the interactive format of the program, which gives ELLs the opportunity to talk individually and create small groups of students from different backgrounds. For ELLs, both their understanding of the curriculum and their understanding of English can be improved. The single parents can additionally provide a network for them to learn together, and the similar experiences allow the students to understand each other better and help each other.

For the assessment program, the program does not rely on traditional tests. It is primarily based on the student’s demonstration of understanding of the material, ideas about the points, etc. I think this assessment model is very student friendly and it gives a good idea of how well the learners have mastered the content based on the results they present. However, I would consider this course to be an introductory course. It contains some terminology and basic theoretical knowledge about mental health. This content may require traditional quiz to test whether students have fully mastered it. The quiz percentage does not need to be high, just to help students understand if they have mastered the correct definitions before they do the summary task.

Great work and i looking forward to the final version of your interactive learning resource on this topic. Thank you!
