I want to start this review off by saying that I am a big fan of the approach that you all as a group have taken for your resource. I think that the layout of the resource and the presentation is very well done and will be easy enough for your target demographic to be able to follow along without issue. One suggestion I would make considering the demographic you’re targeting, would be to adjust some of the wording used to be more simple language (ie, change cognitive to mental), so that students don’t get confused.
When looking at your outcomes I liked how they were all clearly outlined at the beginning of each module highlighting which ones will be addressed/answered. I think that the material you provide in each module will provide the students with what they need to properly achieve these outcomes. However, I might have missed this or misinterpreted some of the activities from the modules but for the modules with multiple outcomes associated with them I’m not sure if the activities address all of the outlined outcomes (example Module 3). I also noticed that there was no activity for module 2, so a suggestion from me would be to perhaps consider adding an activity to address these outcomes or tie them into the following activity.
The use of different activities at the end of each module I find helps to increase the overall interactivity of your resource. I think that all the activities you’ve chosen are very well laid out however I would suggest adjusting the activity within module 4. I feel that the activity from module 4 may need some rewording as I believe that this could cause students to feel uncomfortable or even stressed to have to present out loud to their peers what has made them stressed as this is a personal topic. My recommendation for this would be to instead of saying something that made them personally stressed, to create a “stressful” scenario and then have others identify why this situation is stressful.
When going through this resource I felt that it was strong inclusivity that would allow for students within your target demographic to be able to complete this resource without barriers to learning. Adding to this I found that the use of technology for this resource was strong and the rationale for using it considering your demographic makes perfect sense. Something that I have to note which I may have missed but when I was going through this resource, I noticed that there was a lack of citations in this resource. I’m not sure if this was intended and if it was I would recommend adding a small section addressing this. Overall, I feel that this is a very solid resource which covers all the necessary bases for this assignment!
