Learning to Learn Online: eBook and Course
Brief functionality feedback
1. eBook functionality disadvantages:
no 'next page' page function and/or a permanent interactive Table of content (2 or 3 clicks needed to go to the 'next' or 'other' chapter)
two interactive videos not working OK
no integrated possibility for taking notes (from text or videos)
2. eBook vs. Course comparison:
the online course has increased interactivity (e.g. the overview infographic)
'next page' function added
no other major improvements (less than expected).
