Very basic and quite out of date with some silly content, like who founded Phoenix University. Also, it is a good example of un-engaging online teaching. Still, there was some useful information.

I found the content of this course significantly useful in understanding the architecture of virtual learning. How to cater the varying need of the student.

Principles covered are useful and practical. Covers some useful technologies, but many are out of date and really could cover more.
