Pilot User Comments

• This course was better because the content was
  much better than other courses I have taken.
  Also, it moved quickly enough that I was not
  bored.
• Response time was excellent. Other course(s)
  took forever to down load. Graphics of IEEE
  course were well-thought out.
• Convenience. I would probably not have attended
  a short course, such as this, if I had to travel.

12
Ease of Use Effectiveness

• Majority of respondents indicated that it was
  easy to very easy to navigate through the course
• 92 of respondents agreed graphics and animation
  added to the courses effectiveness
• 85 of respondents agreed screen text was easy to
  read and instructors speaking voice was clear
  and easy to understand
• 72 of respondents agreed that the amount of
  course interactivity (e.g. test questions,
  assignments, contacts, learner inputs) was about
  right
