Correlation should be comprehensive and obvious. Redundancy is usually unwelcome and isolated activities without a relationship to objectives are superfluous. Completeness includes full coverage of essential, current information, as well as inclusion of such components as self-contained activities, materials required, prerequisites, information for obtaining related resources, assessment criteria, links to quality indicators and standards. Logical concept development should be evident. Look for content gaps, irrelevance to the topic, redundancy, or repetition.
Motivation means active engagement of the learner.
Look for activities that are challenging, interesting and appealing, build on prior knowledge and skills, and emphasize and promote relevant action on the part of the learner. Potential for developing confidence and satisfaction as a result of learner effort is desirable. Organization of the resource should reflect logical development and clear actions to be taken by both teacher and learner. It should be easy to use and logically sequenced, with each segment of the resource related to other segments. The Category Rating provides a summary judgement, describing the overall quality of the evaluated resource based on ratings for items 1-6.
