Week 2 Learning Express

I think this resource is great for our library. We have Career Services located down the hall from us so we have many users in the computer lab filling out applications and working on resumes.  Also there’s a military base in our area so we have had patrons using reading material for the ASVAB. 

The practice exams are wonderful tools to have. I enjoyed that they are timed so users get use to the timed part of the exams. The review section after the test is very beneficial. The only suggestion I would have is to have a printable review sections because many of our users don’t have computers our internet at home so they could take home and study the practice exams.

With the Job Search and Workplace Skills section I believe will be the most helpful to our computer users. Once I selected a course the very first thing was the course overview which I think is great. The other great feature is the course outline on the left side that way individuals can skip around to the sections they feel are most beneficial for them. Throughout the course being able to type in entries on the materials is an easy organized way to keep all the information together.

The eBook I choose was middle school geography review in 20 minutes a day. The layout was great. The pretest to see where you stand at the beginning is a wonderful tool. I think how they broke up the section into 20 minutes a day. I feel that this would be able to fit into students schedules well.
