Here is my effort - http://pinchedhead.articulate-online.com/3796857307
I think most of these points have been covered but here goes...
1. text-to-speech narration gives this course a nice robotic feel.
2. narrator is saying exactly (well almost exactly) what is on the screen. Learner does not know whether to listen or read. Both options are painful
3. animation of text and objects are poorly synchronized to the audio so are a total distraction.
4. Bobble-head images should be banned from all courses IMHO - this one is particularly bad because of the careless way the white background was removed from the image.
5. Images are various styles. The bobble-head (did I mention these should be banned) and arrows are a different style.
6. spelling mistakes and inconsistent spelling (sometimes button is in Caps - sometimes not) but you have to keep them guessing right!
7. small text that is all jammed together is hard to read.
8. lack of contrast between the color of the highlighted text and the background is also hard to read.
9. Elements like the Resources tab turned on even thought there are not resources.
10. Forgot to add slide title which means menu topic does not have a label.
11. Used default player colours which are drab and uninspired (sorry Articulate)
