It's no wonder this material has been awarded the Merlot Classic designation. The material is excellent and clearly presented. The topic is a timely one for the audience for which it is intended, and the quality of production first-rate. The animation is hardly staid and should be appealing to the college-aged. Figures in the tutorial do not simply present a statuesque appearance, but interact ever so slightly with the voice- over. The voice-over itself is resonant and easily understandable, the diction precise, and the intonation appropriately emphasized. Users of this materal should not only find it engaging but also humorous. While the examples are to the point, the are also cleverly self-mocking of the sometimes ponderousness of academe.

Well written and illustrated presentation on the differences between scholarly and popular serials. It is short enought to keep the attention of students while opening up opportunities to explain more about the gray areas mentioned.
Staci Wilson (Librarian)
This is a nice, easy to follow video. The length of the video is appropriate. It does an excellent job of reviewing key points to consider when reviewing popular vs. scholarly materials. This is an effective resource to use when working with students.
Technical Remarks:
Easy to use. No technical difficulties encountered. Close captioning for ADA compliance would make this tutorial outstanding.
Samantha Harding (Faculty)
Good discussion of source material, could be strengthened by consideration of commercial and educational sites, which are not peer reviewed, but many students will feel should be authoritative. However, this would make excellent material to provide the basis of a seminar to promote discussion and understanding of scholarly work.
Technical Remarks:
Very easy to use
