Coral Reef Ecosystem Review

Somehow I made it to adulthood without knowing how ALIVE coral reefs are. Needless to say, this e-book was packed with information. The subtopics concerning coral diversity, species diversity, and human-caused reef stress were my favorite. I consider myself an environmentally conscious person, but living in a landlocked state, I've never really thought about human impact on reef ecosystems. There was definitely a lot to learn in those sections. Overall, I enjoyed the interactive portions of this e-book. It was very handy to be able to click on a key word and get the definition, and the interactive "iPad" games were neat. My feedback would be: Below the e-book where it lists the table of contents, I think there should be page numbers so that you have an idea of how long each section is. I also think it would be helpful to know how many subsections are in the section. That way a reader can plan for how long they can sit down and read. I ran into trouble activating the final assessment. I went through and redid all the mini review quizzes and then the final assessment appeared. I don't know if that was a glitch or if I overlooked a quiz the first time. So perhaps there could be some sort of checklist for which mini review quizzes were completed so that a person can see if they accidentally missed one. This was an interesting e-book, and I do recommend choosing this one to read.
