I logged into the Desire2Learn community and clicked the sparks link.  I was initially disoriented with a listing of course links with nondescript 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 initial feeling of incomprehension has added a layer of skepticism 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 pessimism.
