I appreciate the tools that were provided in this course that can assist with planning projects. I have a great deal of knowledge about education and knowledge translation, but it is grounded in other contexts – I found in particular the tools that were provided were really helpful in translating my knowledge into the health care context. I will change my planning and writing practices in future and use these a great deal. I also had little knowledge about journal metrics in a scientific context – so, the section on how to assess where to submit materials was really helpful, and will change how I look at where to send things.
