The content is okay, but I was looking for more actionable teaching. A course on teaching that specify that after learning the learner should be able to do something, it is disappointment that there is not much actionable items in the course.

Although the course provides relevant information, it was extremely slow and wasn't engaging. I found it hard to pay attention to just videos being played the whole time.

The quizzes were badly formulated and difficult to understand. The peer-reviewed assignments were arbitrary at best.

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.

The assessments were really very tough .

Videos are way too long.

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!!

I wish I could give this course zero stars. This is the absolute worse online course I have ever taken in my entire life. I took this course to get my feet wet in instruction design. I was deciding whether to transition into instruction design or UI and front-end development. The only positive thing about this course is that it has made me realize that UI and web design are where I belong. I felt dumb and incompetent taking this course. The videos are boring, monotonous talking heads. The quizzes are horrific. This course would make you not want to pursue Instructional Design which is a CRITICAL problem. Horrible course! I hated every minute I spent doing this!!!

As a veteran teacher looking for knowledge and experience to help me make the shift from teaching to instructional design, I found this course very poorly designed! Practice what you preach- pre-assess, engage your audience, make your slides easy to read just for starters, be considerate of timing of the videos as some are way too long to keep your learner engaged. The theory is important, but the application is what is truly valuable. Connect your instruction to real world applications- posing a project from the start and walking "students" through the steps to create and the why behind the choices would have been much more effective in my opinion.

This is a poorly designed course, which is hilarious considering the learning material. The worst offender of all are the multiple choice quizzes where you must select all that apply. The questions are worded awkwardly and are difficult to reference. Another sore point is how absolutely boring some of the presenters are. You'll find more cheer in a graveyard.

Next time, think about the people you're teaching to. I don't understand how this course went out as is.

Not a very good course. The materials lacked alot of structure and sense. Quizzes didn't really match with materials. I would have liked more case materials and projects to make my time worthwhile. Presentations were so dull and boring. Repetitive and wasn't covered in the quizzes. Quizzes were unnecessarily hard. I did not enjoy this course. Would give it a zero if I could.

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!

For a course on instructional design, I found this course to be very poorly designed. The lectures were not at all interactive and many of the videos seemed to be based on reading definitions off a powerpoint. I was disappointed by this because I've taken many other interesting and high-quality courses on Coursera. I would not recommend this one.

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?

For a course teaching about instructional design, it is poorly designed. Especially from the assessments point. Content fill the requirements but not great.

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.

Very poor lecture delivery. should have used proper english speakers

Questions are ridiculously tough to answer

module 4 quiz impossible to pass

accent
