Thank you for the feedback, Mark. I think I'm on the right track then.. Now I have to think of ways of making the theory interesting enough for my students.. Big challenge!

Hi Claudette

I know one of the key skills in the Study Design involves the use of
software to represent the network diagram, but I very much downplay it
and almost completely get them to do it by hand.  During outcome
practice they can use programs like Visio or even Inspiration to create
network diagrams, but the actual outcome is a pen & paper test
concentrating on the thinking about network theory rather than the use
of software.

I'd rather get them to understand network theory rather than get bogged
down with pretty animation.  And they actually like the theory too...
