educational stacks

[Stephen Messimer]

Hi Chris,

Have you tried using a preceptorTools generic module? The generic 
module allows you to roll your own instructional design.  it is a stack 
that contains about 25 content cards and a prebuilt navigation system.  
Everything that goes on the cards is up to you. No Objectives or 
lengthy instructions required. PreceptorTools was designed for just the 
kind of applications you suggest.

If you have any questions about how you might do this I would be happy 
to help you get started.

Regards

Steve

PS. Thanks for giving preceptorTools a tryout in any case.  :-)
