Table 2 Responses to open-ended questions, “What did you enjoy the most about the CDI?” and “What did you enjoy the least about the CDI?”

Enjoyed Most

Instructional Design Approach (practical, relevant, personalized, etc.)

“The information that I was learning was able to be implemented in my class right away”

Instructional Resources (blueprint, educational technology, etc.)

“The Blueprint as a guide to course design”

“The learning management system aspect as I became more competent in using LMS (Canvas)”

Instructional Support (instructor responsiveness, timely feedback, office hours, etc.)

“I loved how enthusiastic and engaging the TLC instructors were while teaching the course …”

“Feedback from TLC and peers, designated times to meet each week...”

Instructional Activities (homework, in-class activities, practice, etc.)

“The opportunity to try the different strategies. I also liked the collaborative nature of the course”

Enjoyed Least

Instructional Activities (discussion board, too much material covered, etc.)

“… I was a little overwhelmed creating an entire course …”

“The discussion posts. I’m just not sure I got as much out of them as I should have. It was great to see other participant’s blueprints.”

Participant Conflicts (time, motivation, etc.)

“… It seemed hard to make it to all of the meetings, but I liked that there was the built-in accountability …”

“Lack of time flexibility required for synchronous course sessions.”

Course Format (how and when class sessions were held)

“It was too short, and I felt I didn’t have time to master understanding of the different methods and strategies”

“If I had to choose, it would be the fact that we met on Zoom. I’m always going to be a face-to-face person, but I understand that it is important to open the opportunity to employees/faculty of all...campuses …”
