I logged into the Desire2Learn community and clicked the sparks link. I was initially disoriented with a listing of course links with undescript or incoherent names. See the attached screen shot.
I realized I was in a D2L course shell and clicked the student tab to see my courses.
This intial feeling of incomprehension has added a layer of skeptiscim to this new product.
Under my courses is a link to the sparks course that once clicked directs me to the content area to see the various tutorials.
The tutorials seem to be consistently laid out with a PDF file followed by several video files and concluding with a "Test your understanding" quiz.
My initial impression of the overall system was satisfactory with a leading edge of pessimisson.
