Rating:
Strengths:: - There is a great basis of content; with various links and supporting resources to expand beyond the initial focus of the discussion. - The material on values identification and development is very well stated and explained. - It is useful for an organization to go through this process, rather than the usual method of the executives determining the values according to what sounds right.
Concerns:: - The article is connected to various other links and when scrolling, and without clear instructions/ table of contents, if you will, you can get automatically into another link without really noticing. - It is tricky to initially understand the flow of how all the resources are connected or not. - Part 2 - What the Leader MUST do and Part 3 How to make the values live are not clearly identified or fully developed.

Rating:
Strengths:: - Highly useful material that is applicable and adaptable to a number of course assignments, team projects, or presentations regarding organizational values. - There are a number of "branches" of information that allow the user a varied collection of options in terms of use and further considerations. - This is good as a teaching tool for students, leaders, managers, supervisors, executives on the development of values.
Concerns:: - It is confusing with all the links which don't go back to the main material for students not as computer savvy. - It can be a little overwhelming, with the various links and additional articles. - Not everything that is linked to the resource is directly relate-able to the discussion's main topic, so it is easy to "get lost" in the varied discussion options. - Part 2 and Part 3 are not so clear.

Rating:
Strengths:: - There is a clear purpose of the material. - If one is good at sidetracking for additional data, this piece is extremely helpful and seems to have a multitude of connections to other material.
Concerns:: - I don't see this as user friendly to those with disabilities. - The load time can take a while due to all the various links, ads, etc. - There are a number of ads. - I think the multiple links could be separate from the article and still provide the information well.

Other Issues and Comments:: Over all, I'm impressed with the depth of the values section. It has all the information I would want - and I teach values.
