This site had some interesting resources upon it including quizzes. The drwback to using quizzes in this way is that the tutor may not get to see how a learner scored in a quiz. Other resources were well presented in a PDA style format that was easy to read. The nature of the PDA could make it difficult if there were large sections of text to read. I think materials developed for PDA presentation would be better with a high level of graphic content e.g. games

This site was good because hints and tips were given to assist answering the questions – A correct answer was the only way to progress through the quiz.

The list of resources for the activity 1 has plenty of clear and concrete examples. One of the most interesting one was Podcast Lectures because it made me think of the fact that new generations have to develop strong skills on time management due m-learning will encourage async study times.

Excellent site. It is focused on what to learn without distracting design. It’s a concrete example on actual interactivity.
