Same year, same subject, parallel institution: WordPress as a for-credit course at York University in Toronto across three terms of 2017.
York is a different teaching context than Sheridan. The students span more disciplines, the program structures are different, and the assumptions you can make about prior knowledge shift. A WordPress course at a research university can carry more theory before it loses the room than the same course at a career college, and the assignments can ask for written reflection on top of the technical work.
Holding two parallel post-secondary WordPress courses in one calendar year was a particular kind of year. The Sheridan and York classes never met each other, but the material flowed between them as both groups raised questions I hadn’t thought to plan for. Both courses are part of why WordPress teaching feels less like demonstration and more like instruction now.
