By Sandra E Davis on 11/8/2020

Please consider adding auditory narration to accompany on-screen text. Sometimes time limits require me to listen to this information while driving. (In those cases, I still return and review the imagery.)
In addition, consider those who may not be able to read at a strong level; the auditory supplement their ability to accept your message.

Hugely informative for an online course. Very impressed so far, all in all. Had a lovely warm welcome in the form of a message from the course instructor, and even offered help to me, should I need any assistance during my studies. Thought that was a lovely personal touch and certainly made for a pleasant surprise. I don't recall ever being greeted as a student, whenever I've taken other online courses. Much appreciated, thank you very much.
