on-line glossary, appendix -- Items included here should be linked from the text of the module and all placed in a separate file.

Study and review questions -- For lecture notes, these will resemble traditional test-review questions. Activity-oriented modules (such as this one) may incorporate more "active" questions to re-enforce new skills. These questions can also serve as a "gatekeeper" to help students complete an activity correctly before submitting it to the instructor for evaluation. You may also wish to include links to on-line quizzes.

In a modules such as this, you might ask:

• Does your module follow principles of good Web Design? Are graphics appropriate for the Web? Do forms and tables contribute to the clarity of the module?
• Will the site work on different browers? As a general principle it is a good idea to "design up", but remember that there are still people out there with text-based browsers.
• Does your module conform to the general "look" of the Virtual Geography Department?
• Did you include a contact address for comments and corrections?
• Is every page in the module linked back to the beginning of the module, to the working group home page, and to the Virtual Geography Department Home Page?
• Are pages designed for viewing on 640X480 pixel monitors and projection panels?
• Is the initial page streamlined and quick to load?
• Do imagemaps have textual counterparts? Can people navigate your pages if their graphics are turned off?
• Are graphics clear, fast-loading, and content-rich?
