Interactive Learning Resource Topic: Economics in daily life

Identify components of the Interactive Learning Resource that might be missing (e.g., appropriate outcomes, alignment, interactivity, inclusivity, technology use and rationale, presentation, grammar, spelling, citations, etc.).
– I think that the introduction could be a bit more concise and act more as an overview of the whole resource. 
– It seems that the ‘description’ and ‘learning theory’ paragraphs are the same, which was likely a mistake.
– I noticed some grammatical errors (mostly with the inclusion of quotes)
Provide a summary of The Interactive Learning Resource’s strengths and weaknesses. Draw out specific examples from your peers’ work to justify your feedback.
Strengths:
– Effective use of blooms taxonomy verbs for learning outcomes
– I liked the layout of each topic as it seemed very organized and was consistent for every topic
– I really liked the ‘plans to design for the inclusion of diverse learners’ section and appreciated that there were examples of how it would be implemented.
– The activities and assessments for each topic were all relevant and made sense in the context of the course material
Provide general, specific, and practical recommendations to your peers on how to improve their Interactive Learning Resource.
Overall, your Interactive Learning Resource was engaging and followed a well-structured layout for the subtopics. I think that you strongly applied the material that we have learned in this class to make the resource interactive and easily understandable for learners. My main recommendation to improve your ILR would be to create an overview of the course that strongly highlights the importance of each topic and how the resource will help learners to understand economics better.
