Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Superior (3)
Very comprehensive and great for helping all learners focus on material. There are pictures, short phrases, interaction, and sound. I think it was good for all my students to help them understand the subject matter. I also how the examples grow from easier to more difficult and include unique sample questions.

Quality of Assessments: Superior (3)
Phase 1 would help someone gain prior knowledge for phase 2. There were clear objectives before phase 1 began. There were assessments throughout.

Quality of Technological Interactivity: Strong (2)
I appreciate the technology used. Students need basic mouse and navigation skills. Some of the sound effects are a little silly depending on the students you serve, and may detract from the purpose. Also, some of the navigation keys seemed delayed and I found myself and my students rotating between the keyboard and mouse to move forward.

Quality of Instructional and Practice Exercises: Superior (3)
There are clear summative and formative assessments. Many assessments built into the presentation, but also many additional outside assessments at the end of each unit.
