Evaluation :
- Strong introduction with a clear presentation of rationale, aims, structure, etc.
- A short introduction to contemporary literature (in English) and - at the beginning of each chapter - a short introduction to the chapter-building aspects of modern society (in Danish) - this is a very sensible use of different languages.
- In every top-level chapter (ranging from identity to risk society) there is well-guided text work on excerpts from relevant current English-language literature, but also interpretative work regarding e.g. , non-fiction texts (e.g. by Barack Obama - rhetoric ), images or films (e.g. "Babel").
- Because small ´hyper 'text/media snippets are avoided in favour of scrollable units, the navigation is very clear.
- Toolbox with text about analysing different types of media, talking (in the form of a quiz) and in particular writing (different text types) mainly about texts.
- Really dynamic and eye-catching opening page to catch the attention of the learner.
- Dramatic use of photographs and evidence of a wide range of reading/reference material.
- Many opportunities for testing understanding with very clear and helpful guidelines.
- Challenging and wide-ranging collection of modern texts which expand the readers' horizons.
- Readers are introduced to topical concepts through reading from selected texts.
- The topics proposed and described with texts from numerous contemporary writers are highly relevant and appealing to the target group.
- The students have the opportunity to express their experience, their problems and answer the questions by clicking the writing tool which lets the teacher follow each learner all the time.
