Quotes from the episode
At the core of any class we’re teaching, we have to think about how a student or a user is going to navigate through that experience.
-Jenae Cohn
I encourage a balance of getting some feedback from your students after the class is over and using the analytics within it to come to some conclusions about what you could revise or do differently the next time you offer the course.
