I think there is too much information (text) on each screen. The user has to read through a lot of text and then select a button to continue. This could be confusing for people who are not frequent CBT users.
Hi Ray ! Nice work! The instructions are clear and precise, the activities are varied and the learner is well guided in his learning. I don't agree with Victor, certainly there is some text, but it is necessary for a good understanding, especially on a subject concerning hazardous materials. I like the way important information is presented. You understand and retain it very quickly. I will keep this module as an example if I may.
I always limit the amount of information presented on each screen even though it makes the learning module longer. My goal is to present the material in "bite-size" chunks. That allows me to place emphasis on more important information without overloading any one screen. In the example screen shown above, I would break this into three screens:
Screen 1 - Claire asked us to....Which one should we take back to the lab? The student now has a question to answer and looks over the bottles shown.
Screen 2 - Now give the student the tools to make the choice - "Click the EXAMINE button to see details of each bottle".
Screen 3 - The student now makes a selection - "Select the bottle that satisfies Claire's request"
Just my way to break this up to minimize screen overload.

Hello Ray, this is a fantastic course of learning by doing. Great inspiration, very engaging, and most importantly, it teaches the skills. I am only halfway but I have learned how to ready a cylinder by checking the sample. Thank you so much for sharing!
