This Week's Guest: Susannah Simmons

Our Learning Designers React series continues with Susannah Simmons joining us to debrief several assignment prompts.

Susannah has extensive experience in course development, subject matter expert collaboration, project management, and team leadership. She has created 20+ new online master’s level courses and continuing education learning experiences. She is highly skilled in designing and developing learning experiences for higher education, corporate training, and professional development.

This conversation feels like many we have had before around the lunch table. We productively critique the structures we commonly see in online courses and hope to encourage folks on ways to improve their assignments with simple practices.

This Week’s React Content: Online Activities

This week on Learning Designers React we pulled 3 online activities we had access to and tweaked them a bit to anonymized them then reacted to the instructions. While we believe you should always look at the whole course when evaluating it, this practice led us to some interesting conversations. You can access the screenshots of the activities we reviewed on the pages below:

Final Draft

Issues Quiz

Personal Case Study

Susannah’s Top App: Wrike

Finally, Susannah leaves us with Wrike as her app du jour. This app is a major project management tool that allows you to connect with other coworkers and track project progress. Of course, this is a phenomenal project management app for work and business, but it can also serve you and your students in the classroom.
