The course design doesn't end at the implementation. The results and feedback are taken into the course evaluation that feeds into the revision of design and development, and the iterative cycle continues. In Project 3, we evaluated a sample course with OLC Quality Course Teaching & Instructional Practice (QCTIP), wrote a short case study analysis, and visualized the findings in an executive presentation.
I evaluated Instructional Design and Technology: Learning Theories USMx LDT100x from the course options ending on January 8, 2020.
In discussion with the instructor and peers, I submitted my findings about the course environment and evaluation approach through quantitative data from QCTIP.
I wrote a case study analysis to gauge the effectiveness of the course through qualitative data analysis from QCTIP, highlighting three areas of accomplishments and issues from the Massive Online Open Course (MOOC).
I turned the analysis into a visual form. The audience is the Chair of the Department of Education, in charge of quality assurance of the MOOC.

Review the requirements of the step 3 deliverables and keep them in mind.
Using paper and pen, note while working on steps 1 and 2.
Brainstorm the topics that present and translate well into visuals.
Aim to simplify and be concise in the presentation.
Find an appropriate PowerPoint template.
Lay out the template with the flow of the narrative.
Develop the outline into slides.
Fill in details and charts from steps 1 and 2.
Ensure adding credits and appropriate Creative Commons license.
Follow the making of the video process to complete the presentation.
In the end
Giving a shape for vague concepts in our minds is one of the effective ways to organize information. The challenge of translating information into a presentation for others is how to curb the sub-level information while maintaining the essential information in an easy way to follow with eyes and ears. I utilized clipart and graphs to show collected data. Overall, I enjoyed crafting narratives and data visualization in a tangible form!
