Content Quality
Rating:
Strengths:
This module is clear, concise, accurate, current and relevant. It is such a fun little game that most students would repeat it several times and in the process learn basic banking terms. Users get only one chance to select the correct definition for a term per game. The questions are randomly generated so that each time the game is replayed the order of the questions change. The game also scores correct responses and the number of bingo obtained while attempting to fill the board.
Concerns:
None
Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool
Rating:
Strengths:
This module identifies learning objectives and is very efficient. Students typically love this type of discrete "game". It has a positive reinforcement in the "ding" received every time the correct term that matches the given definition is selected. It gives you a funny little noise when a term is missed.
Concerns:
Prerequisite knowledge is not identified. Since the module is a game on term definition, relationships between concepts are not demonstrated, nor are concepts reinforced progressively.
Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty
Rating:
Strengths:

Concerns:
None
