My goals changed slightly throughout the program. I started with a goal to author an early childhood curriculum that parents could implement in a homeschool type environment. While this is still a possibility and something that I would love to do in the future, my main focus has shifted to opening a microschool. This program has given me the tools to feel confident and knowledgeable with organizing and creating learning opportunities. I want to not only design the learning but also implement the content. Using what I have learned about UDL and learning theories like Mayer’s Principles of Multimedia Learning (Digital Learning Institute, n.d.), I can design the learning and the environment to meet the needs of a small group of students.  

Not only has this program inspired me and given me the knowledge to design and develop online learning, I also have gained practical knowledge that can be used in many different scenarios. I am able to work with parents or teachers and troubleshoot any issues they are having with school or their child’s learning. I have the knowledge to give others feedback on products they have created, and we can collaborate to develop the best product.
