Content Quality

Strengths:
The course covers the foundamental knowledge about HTML and CSS. It illustrates the syntas of HTML and CSS. Students should be able to create Web pages after this course. The information is sufficient for new learners in this area.
The content is for the beginer of the learning HTML and CSS. It pay substantial effort presenting the basic idea and the pacing is very modest so most of the user can follow.
It presented the tools to develop HTML and CSS instead of simple text editors.
Concerns:
Further reading is needed if students want to go beyond the fundamentals.
It is unexpected that some more features are not presented, such as form, frame, and the feature brought in HTML 5 should be highlighted.

It not only presents the syntax of the HTML and CSS, but also the tree structure in the HTML in details.
In presenting CSS, it also shows some attractive examples to show the capability and features of CSS.
Concerns:
For further enhancement, it can also give more external references for further readings, e.g. w3c, for some more official and technical information.
Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty
Rating:
Strengths:
The videos are well created and the instructions are very clear. It is easy to follow. I particulary appreciate the online practise platform which allows learners to practise and see their results instantly. It also provides solution for students to review.
It is good that it also contains some self-reviewing quizzes, while not many, to help learners to reflect their understanding. The response after clicking the answer with the explanation is also impressive and reinforcing on the learning.
The content is short enough to go through all in a few hours, not very overwhelming.
