• Presented in an easy to read, easy to understand format that made it very easy to learn.
• Good use of the DL technologies available - not just a page turner.
• Enjoyed the way the topic was presented.
• Ideas presented were well described and in a matter efficient for learning.

Teaching – as opposed to telling!
Strategies
Explain in basic terms
• Focus on student understanding and retention
• Conversational tone
Migrate to critical thinking
• Testing strategy
• Follow on training“I am impressed with the quality of the tests. It is about time that pass marks for military courses were raised, the time limits not so generous, and the answers not verbatim quotes from the study material.”
