// 2. Identify 1-3 elements of the artifact and explain why/how they demonstrate mastery. //

The design of this project is a major element of the artifact. It took a lot of trial and error to make sure the module could be used effectively. The use of Moodle itself as a technology and a learning space is also a major element of this project. Learning to use Moodle after using D2L for so long was a struggle and making sure it was easy to use and organized for integration, eventhough I was a new user to it myself, was important. The assessment tool on Moodle took a lot of trial and error as well to create. However, matching the objectives to the assessment made it very effective.

// 3. How does, will, or could the content of this artifact benefit your instructional audience or professional community? //

The students in my class for MCOM 530 were all able to see my module, and I could see all of theirs. We all learned new things from one another and got ideas about how to design, teach, implement, and assess on our modules. This whole project will help them in the future to teach in a Distance Education setting more effectively.

// 4. Reflection. What did you learn from the experience when you created the artifact or took the course? //

I learned that I will always need to learn new technologies in this field. I am coming to terms with the fact that I will never stop learning as long as I want to keep up to date with my students and keep them interested in the lesson.
