I found that the workshop and the textbook information complemented each other well. I appreciated the visual examples given in the workshop, and Lisa walking us through the process step-by-step was very helpful.
The textbook’s emphasis of giving students details, details, details was not missed. I know that as an instructor, stylistically, I tend to be brief and to-the-point. But, I can see that too little detail can be confusing to students. So, the point is to put myself in the shoes of the students or my audience, anticipating their queries.
In on-ground classrooms, the syllabus is referred to or pulled out for reference many times throughout the semester. In the online setting, I see that being able to link the syllabus to internal or external sources will serve that purpose well.
