Content/Overall Organization
General Suggestions/Comments:
- Overall this module was very well organized, with all the key points presented
excellently.
- I was impressed by the mixing applets!
- The applets all of the Discover pages under Mixing and Transport
are also on the respective Practice pages. The Discover applets
as well as the text explaining them should be removed. The java programmer
will be explained this suggestion as well.
- In the last alpha test feedback from Ann Navin, it was suggested to move
the exercises from the Discover section to the Practice section.
I also suggest this as it is what the Practice section was created
for.
- The navigation bar:
- The heading New Stuff should be changed to something more professional
sounding.
- There are fifteen different new categories, when there should be between
two and five. Please break the "new stuff" down into three to
five subcategories.
Page-Specific Suggestions:
- Core Conservation: There is no information
under the sections titled "Boundary" and "Initial Conditions".
- Transport Across a Membrane: The bottom
of this page has several errors. There are one too many DISCOVER
buttons which lead to the same site containing an incomplete applet (The
java programmer will be explained of the incomplete applet). The five categories
of the top navigation bar should be used in this case. The discover
link should be activated, and it's page should contain the completed applet.
Likewise, the practice link should be activated, and its page should
contain the exercises.
- Unsteady Transport Across a Membrane: The
line, "(Jon, can you supply values (L,D) here for an example?)" appears
in red at the bottom of the page. There are obviously some changes that
need to be made here.
Use of Alternate Media
- There are a great deal of web sites linked to this module in order to
support the idea of Mass Transport. This interactivity will definitely
help users to understand the material, and also how important the application
of it is.
HTML Programmer Notes
Java Programmer Notes
- The applets on all of the Discover pages under Mixing and
Transport are also on the respective Practice pages. The Discover
applets as well as the text explaining them should be removed. The head
of the module will be explained this suggestion as well.
- In several derive applets there is a link to another derive
applet. When clicking on this link, a new window should open. Otherwise,
when the DONE button is pushed, the window closes, and the user cannot
go back to the first derive applet.
- Unsteady Transport Across a Membrane:
Two of the derive pages (click here and here) do not open error free. All programmers will
be made aware of these errors.
Graphics Notes
- Excellent graphic work, I found no errors!
