"None"
"None"
"None"
"Have a 'review' version for people who have done this over and over and over again. Maybe every 5 years need to repeat whole thing (rotate so not all at the same time)."
"N/A"
"NA"
"Maybe have a section for asking questions about the material"
"It would be better to evaluate the course when we finish the content rather than having to wait months to evaluate. "

"This is the same thing we see every single year and is just a frustrating hoop we have to jump through. "
"Allow us to test out instead of taking every year?"
"If you can pass the quizzes, you shouldn't have to re-watch the same videos each and every year."
"Condense it"
"For returning staff, there needs to be a way to test out. I have asthma and severe allergies (carry an epipen) and my husband is a type one Diabetic. I seriously do not need to sit through those courses to be able to show that I understand the material. Make it in a way that you can only try the quiz once and if you do not meet the minimum score you must watch the material "
"None"
"none"
"none"
"n/a"
"Can we test out? Any way to just take all the exams and not have to do the material if we pass?"
"Given the digital world in which staff and students presently live and operate, its critical that WSD provide professional development for our teaching staff to build awareness and background in digital citizenship and media literacy. "
"Some of the sessions could be revamped. Lots of repeat from year to year. Also, some of the videos were a bit long this time. I'd tighten those up. Really think about what the average teacher needs to know. I also think it's hard to evaluate this effectively in November if it's taken in September. "
"Not much you can do about this, but does get repetitive each year. Maybe have material in different formats on alternate years for returning staff just to break it up a bit?"
"Offering this training in this capacity allows us to do it when we can!"

"I did appreciate being able to get this done before school classes started this year - it is time consuming and was nice to just be able to focus on inservice days and my classroom at the end of Aug and begin of Sept "
"None =)"
"Thank you for moving the course end date to the last day of conference week. Previously, we've been told that we are supposed to complete these trainings during conference week, but the class ended in October, so if we tried to complete the training during conference week, the course was already done and locked, and we couldn't get clock hours either. So it forced us to do it on our own time outside of school hours. Thank you for making the change. "
