Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool

Rating:

Strengths:

This is a software product that needs initial training and lots of practice in order to fully realize its potential. Self paced learning with user friendly features can address this particular challenge.
The software promotes conceptual understanding and can be used in a variety of ways to achieve teaching and learning goals.

Concerns:

All download links refer to other articles on the site, which in turn, refer to other articles on the site. I noticed several comments asking for the link to the template. If one cannot find the template, this resource is not fully useful to the instructor or student. Technical jargons and challenges while utilizing this software might affect its optimization process.

Advertising can be distracting.

Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty

Rating:

Strengths:

The sotware utilization steps are coupled with clear and accurate instructions for use.The site has a clear and consistent layout and the software is easy to navigate.

The layout of the article is clear, with numerous images. Links work, although they take the reader to other posts and not to download links.

Concerns:

The site is easy to use, but accessing the templates advertised proves difficult or impossible. Some of the advertisements flash, which may negatively affect sensitive viewers. Software program is dependent upon the user and the extent of its usage.

Other Issues and Comments:: This post seems to function as clickbait, because there does not appear to be a template to download. If there is a file, it is not clearly provided.
