Content is very dated.
Poorly executed, only about 20% of the course actually related to the exam. The rest was an old video of the teachers sharing content from webinar participants. Also extremely outdated.
audio is horrible plus there is little training except the replay on breakout rooms discussion.
This was a thorough introduction to the certification process.
There is absolutely no content...a complete waste of money. The videos do not play. The sections skip in a matter of seconds. This is ridiculous.
I felt there needed to be more quiz examples to prepare. Some of the video narrative was very monotone. It would have been helpful to back this up with a quiz to cement the concepts.
The test taking period has changed from six months to 90 days. The materials should be updated.
The content of this course was helpful; there were some good points shared.
It was dated material and in several parts inaccurate information. There were some other "converting to recording" version issues- for example, the speaker says he'sll tell you how to submit questions if you're watching recording-- but he never does. I liked the mix of presentation (didactic) and conversations, but it was not what I was expecting. Perhaps a better description up front of how the course is formatted- disclosing it was a pre-recorded webinar and many portions include group work, would be good to know up front. In some instances, presenters talk over once another; in one case she mentions that she had to go "take a call." SUPER unprofessional when you're converting a webinar to a timeless course. Seems woudl be easy enough to snip that out.
As it relates to the build and technical items in the course, I have to say I was dissapointed and found it sloppy. It appears no one piloted this course for technical issues after it was built: I made numerous notes along the way of issues I found. Things like audio transitions, words cut off, audio missing in varoius portions, in at least two circumstances the wrong video was uploaded to the sections (handouts didnt match/duplicate recording in two places). If you want to ask, I'd be happy to share where and where these issues occur as I made notes.
Was it worth my time for my purposes of a quick review for my exam? Yes. Was I impressed with how the course was built and presented? No.
I hope this is helpful to you; I manage our own LMS system and those tiny details of piloting the course, making sure its current, and high quality, and technically clean are SO important to the overall experience.
The written portions were hard to read unless I put these on a full screen, which meant I couldn't see the written transcripts. Transcripts were incorrect a lot of the time, wording was strange and not what the speaker was referring to. I found the logic model information confusing...still not sure about quantitative, qualitative, etc. Wish you could find a way to make this clearer, even for seasoned grant writers.
