Desk crit/Alpha testing

Given to: Genesis Learning Solutions

I very much enjoyed the screens with colorful illustrations as I went through. The examples about Joe Camper were also effective :)

There are some major bugs though going on with the site. In every unit the navigation buttons were not working properly. In most units when I hit next at some point it would load to a blank page??? In other units I would get to a point in the site where, when I hit next, the same page would just come up again. This is very confusing to the end user who is unaware when your information is complete. I kept wondering if there was more that I was missing because of the malfunctioning navigation buttons. In one unit, after I took the self test, the site took me back to the beginning of the same unit... you all might want to check on that.

You might be aware also that there are points where it says "click ____" or "see illustration" and there are no links inserted.

In unit 5 some of the objectives at the top straddle the decorative line that you have there. My suggestion would be to just make this consistently spaced for every unit.

The navigation buttons at the bottom of the entire site are also confusing. I don't understand their purpose and when I am supposed to utilize them. It seems that you might want more cues for those lovely buttons.

I wish you guys the best as we finish everything up!
