This was a little confusing. I think the answers are debatable.
Presentation of resources and make it easy to navigate around.
I was happy with the space given to consider the six ideas about design and place them in order of importance to me in the light of what is important to my organisation.
Interactive and practical.
thought provoking. Digital resources when designed well can be used by all who engage in them
Good work
A resource can't really be judged effectively until it's use has been tested in some way, whether that's in the classroom or through collaboration with colleagues. The factors listed in this unit are a useful guideline for self- checking but don't design in isolation!
