      I feel that this course was very informative and was a great way to learn more about what exactly Multimedia Advocacy is and the benefits of Multimedia Advocacy. I enjoyed looking at both pictures and videos of the RIX Wikis that were shared throughout this course because it allowed me to see more about what life is like for individuals with a learning disability.
