I loved the visuals and videos that were created for the course, it was fun and informative. Glad to be boating in Cali!
I respect minimum time on each screen to ensure the user is absorbing the content but I was very thorough in my reading and consistency had 30 secs left on every module. Roughly 20 modules across 6 topics = 120 screens which meant over an hour was just waiting time.
Much information was duplicated from screen to screen. I could name 10 repeated sections (which of course I had to wait the full 2.5mins before proceeding).
Multiple choice questions were also repeated. Over 6 quizzes of 10 questions I could have counted around 5 duplicates. Same with the final exam.
For a California card (state-specific) I found much of the content very generic, "If there is a current, and depending on the time of year". For me to learn more effectively I would have liked to see, "Review this chart with the top harbour locations along the Cali coast identifying current directions and tide levels and how they change through the year." I can only imagine the ranges of this information is similar annually?
Overall I am excited to be boating safety but the course took around 7 hours when it stated was roughly 3 hours to complete.
Thanks
