Content

 Easy to understand

 

✓

✓ I felt like the content was delivered in a way that made it very easy to understand [#14].

 Relevant to practice, particularly/ case studies

 

✓

✓ I think it was quite relevant. Especially when they brought in a case study that is very common in the general practice room [#12].

 A good resource

 

✓

✓ I think the main things were resources I could use to look up things in future if I had trouble. So, I saved them as bookmarks [#12].

Delivery

 Flexible

✓ (Q.5) Flexibility in learning

✓ Flexible with time and pace

✓ The fact that it was online, that I could do it in my own time, and that flexibility was great [#09].

 Easy navigation / user friendly

✓ (Q.6)

Mixed

The navigating the system was fine. It was easy [#04].

I did find a problem with it. When you had to move answers into boxes, if it accidentally went into the wrong box [#08].

 Individualised learning

✓ (Q.8)

  

 Feedback /interactivity

✓ (Q.11)

✓ Liked the interactivity e.g. quizzes & feedback

✓ It was good that we were sort of asked to generate a response, to answer a question. I also enjoyed that they [the course] gave you a model answer [#14].

 Engaging

 

✓

Mixed

So, I thought it was good mix of media which made the presentation interesting and it kept my attention for longer than it may have otherwise [#07].

I found that it was a little bit difficult to engage with some of the modules [#3].
