The all but one of the remaining lectures in the Week 1 Module were presented by a different talking head. The new talking head introduced himself as an instructional designer with 10 years of experience (when the content was recorded). He designed the lessons (maybe the entire course system?). I found it interesting that in addition to designing the instruction, he ALSO explained the concepts delivered in several lecture topics.
Unlike the first two talking heads, the ID talking head actually gave more in depth information on the concepts presented in each lecture. I ended up taking a lot of notes! And his delivery style was engaging -- for a talking head.
These lectures also used a combination of an online quiz, another case study, and questions for thought. After the case study and questions for thought, the presenters would discuss the key ideas that should have been considered, as well as things to keep in mind in when faced with these situation. As for the quiz, the format was one multiple choice question per slide. Feedback was given immediately after a choice was made, explain why the choice was correct or, if correct, why the correct answer was the preferred answer in that instance.
As for finding the workbook, I ended up posting a question seeking its location, and some explained that it was in the last of the five books that were sent. Oh well. There are only two pages to complete to catch up, and it will serve as a review.
One of the lectures included a pdf that gave more in depth discussion about one of the concepts. It's actually very useful!
Now all I have left is to read the assigned PMBOK Guide chapters before I start Week 2. I think I will take the first assessment before I start Week 2 to see my progress and to see what I may need to review.
I have a better impression of the training today.
