Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty

Rating:

Strengths:

In order to view the matierial, the user needs to register first. Once the registration is sent, the webinar will play. An email will also be sent to the user with a link to the webinar.

The instructions for use are included and clear.
The webiste has a clear and consistent layout.
The software/website is easy to navigate.
The site is in working order.

Concerns:

It does require a login in which the user has to provide personal contact information. This may violate privacy policies at some higher education institutions when students are required to provide their private information to watch the webinar.

It does not meet accessibility requirements if able to assess.
It needs to provide a caption and transcript as downloaded PDFs for people with disabilities.

Other Issues and Comments:

The presenter identifies some data may be outdated as health officials' were still learning about how to treat and control COVID -19.

The ANA has created many webinars on topics related to COVID -19, so more up to date information has been shared. This was one of their first webinars since the pandemic began.
