Yes indeed, various orchestration decisions taken in this course have made a great impact in my course engagement. Some to mention are:
1) Weekly graded quizzes with a submission deadline helps the learner to go through the course content timely on regular basis.
2) RQ's and feedback for each chosen options helps and motivates the learner in better understanding of the concept as well as his choice of answer(reasoning behind his wrong and right answers).
3) LxI quizzes which requires the learner to post answer for a focused question in discussion forum, motivates the learner for active participation thus resulting in collaborative learning.
4) Due to availability of transcriptions for Learning Dialogues, pdf's, videos, resoures in LxT etc a learner is motivated for self paced learning along with interested learning with interested learning material.
5) Instructors replying and commenting on the posts in discussion forum , gives the learner a sense of connectivity to the instructor.
