--- Reply ABOVE THIS LINE to post a comment to the project --- Company: OWEA Project: Open Web Education Alliance Link: https://webstandardsproject.grouphub.com/C45145527 Dave McFarland commented on a message: I agree with Aarron. InterAct is very different than the materials offered by Adobe, Opera and others. It's a curriculum framework that includes the kinds of materials--lesson plans, assignments, exam questions, learning modules--that instructors need to successfully run a class. The material from Opera and Adobe is very good, and should certainly be considered as reading material for a class, but they don't provide the complete course structure that InterAct offers. An instructor can take an InterAct curriculum and basically have a complete course ready for them--for adjunct faculty, overworked instructors, and those who just don't have the time to keep up with current Web practices, this is a real time saver. In my experience the key to winning the Web standards-in-education fight is to make it as EASY as possible for people to adopt. If an instructor is faced with the choice, "Should I develop my own course from scratch, or just use this ready-made course," odds are the instructor will choose the simplest path--a complete course. ..........................................................................
