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!
Hi Ray, great job. I went through the current link and was surprised at how much I learned and retained from it despite knowing virtually nothing on the topic of handling hazardous materials. Evidence of rather effective use of realistic scenarios, sufficient information that is broken down into steps. At the end I found myself wanting to learn more!
