Trydian Interactive`s web-based learning support service for two university textbooks published by Van Schaik Publishers, proved to be a great success in its first year of operation. It was successful not only in terms of the number of users, but also in terms of the overwhelmingly positive feedback received from these users. Although the concept of web-based learning support for a specific textbook is well-established internationally and increasingly employed by international publishers of academic textbooks, this is the first and currently the only project of its nature in South Africa.
A questionnaire was sent to all of the almost 2 000 users, to which a representative section of about 5% responded. Some interesting statistics: 81% of users found it easy to interact with the interactive workbooks with only 4% disagreeing; 87% experienced the feedback that is provided by the workbook once a question has been answered, as useful, with only 2% disagreeing; 91% would like to have access to similar web-based services for their other subjects; and finally 92% indicated that they would recommend the web-based learning support to other students, with none disagreeing.
Trydian Interactive perceives these statistics as a vindication of the high quality of our products and of the success of our instructional design methodology in the market.
