Reflection —
The module I made, while good enough, could have been better. I feel like my instructional design was still weak at this stage in my degree program. The module met the media requirements of the class but it would not be sufficient in instructional design focused classes. Outside of that I feel like the materials supported the module. This module did not require screen shots, Photoshop, or video. But it did require interactive Powerpoint skills, understanding copyright-free images, and recording audio. This module is a good candidate for revision.

Reflection —
This site was a great review and at times an eye-opening experience. It provided me an opportunity to work with hand coding again but more importantly it helped me focus on accessibility on the web. I am sad to say that my normal workflow did not account for accessibility and incorporating that step required adjusting my designs thoughtfully to accommodate diverse users. The assignments showcased on the site were also important in helping me learn about and implement accessible design and structure.
