Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty

Rating:

Strengths:

The content is clear and consistent once the learner reaches the actual content. Software is robust. The site is in working order. The resource is engaging.

Concerns:

Once must register prior to accessing the course. There is much required for registration, and some of the directions are not clear at first. There is also a 37 question preassessment that is time consuming. This is required prior to accessing the course.

There are significant navigation/registration concerns. Opening an account and registering for the course was not user friendly. Some may not wish to share their personal information through such a registration and this is a significant privacy concern. The questionnaire required before taking the course is quite lengthy. These are significant concerns that would prevent me from assigning this resource to students in a course.

Other Issues and Comments:

CME credits are offered for this course.
