Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty
Rating:
Strengths:
The videos are easy to use. The presenter uses a flip chart and markers in place of a blackboard. Vocal inflections are excellent to keep ones attention. Each presentation has been carefully crafted and uses an appropriate vocabulary given the target audience. Users can pause and resume a presentation or rewind to replay a few seconds. Videos can be displayed full screen by clicking on the icon in the lower right corner of the video frame.
Concerns:
No instructions present, but navigation is intuitive. Once the video concludes, a link to the next one in the sequence isnt always present. The easiest way to move to the next video is to return to the playlist via the browser back button. Sound quality is not the best, but it is adequate to present the information. Static noise may be present.
Other Issues and Comments:
Videos are no longer than 5.5 minutes, which is excellent way to keep a students interest.
