Overview: This a very effective teaching tool. Images and text work well together to make the
module easy to use. Learning objectives are well described and the student has
concepts reinforced (especially by the quizzes in the module) as the lesson
progresses.
Type of Material: teaching tool

Evaluation and Observation

Content Quality

Rating: 5 stars
Strengths: The material is well organized and intuitive. Quizzes are interspersed in the
module to be completed before the student advances to the next module section. There is a good deal of
content in the module and it is well presented and summarized.
Concerns: Some material needs to be updated, such as contrasting CD, CD-R, CD-RW (but
this is a problem with all rapidly advancing technology).
