Assuming a similar time commitment, would you prefer another vehicle for this mandated instruction?

The presentation model used by CITI is rather simplistic and permits you to scroll through the content as if you were reading a book or a journal. Other web based

models require that the learner click from "page to page" in order to read the material in smaller segments and interact with the software. Each approach has advantages

and disadvantages for specific learners. Please provide us with some feedback regarding the current presentation model.

I DO NOT like the current presentation model another approach should be implemented. 3%

The "page to page" is better because I could pause and reflect on important points in the content. 6%

I prefer the "page to page" approach with interactive games or activities to break up the text. 7%

I DO NOT recommend the "Page to Page" model as it would increase the time to complete the course. 13%The materials presented in the course are new to me. I like the current presentation model. 19%

The current approach enabled me to read through the content as if I where reading a book or journal. 51%

The current course site presents the materials in ways that are easy for me to understand and learn.

Strongly disagree Strongly agree

For this type of instruction, I would prefer a presentation model that would require me to actively participate in activities, games or videos

designed to emphasize important concepts.
