Ease of Use

Rated 2 out of 5

The tool has an interface that may be confusing to either instructor or learner; there is limited opportunity for personalization.

Media Rich & Flexible Features

Rated 2 out of 5

The tool promotes a mix of forms for learners (audio, visual, textual) but is limited in its ability to provide non-sequential, flexible/adaptive engagement with material

Mobile Design & Functionality
