  • Money well spent, and really happy with the result. Course has really inspired me to develop a cohesive plan for the whole site - rather than a single area. Kathleen's input has challenged my original ideas .. for the better! The steps, simple support material and zoom catchups provide a great structure to move confidently through the course. I feel confident now to engage contractors on the next phase - the execution of the plan

  • Having put together online courses for the University of Melbourne I know how hard it is to make them flow and get all participants on board with the various technologies required to provide materials and do the course work. I think Kathleen has done an outstanding job of this taking the time early to walk very deliberately through the supporting applications required and how to access them and set them up in order that everyone could get on board easily and not fall off at this first step due to feeling technologically inadequate. Well done Kathleen!

  • The content is excellent and presented in an easy to understand and navigate way. Being able to do the course at my own pace has been great. Having access to the zoom meetings and Facebook group has also been a real asset.

  • The whole course has been great, very informative and easy to follow. The fortnightly Zoom meetings have worked really well, we have felt our questions have been answered and we have enjoyed seeing everyone else's progress each week.
