 * Author:** David Dorn

The //Beginner’s Guide to Safe Surfing// was a module full of good information, but did not demonstrate e3 instruction very welll at all. One of the main factors was the lack of structure to the component skills. The module consisted of twenty sections, but not all of the sections described a particular skill. There were some sections that were info-abouts and did not necessarily add up to a larger topic or area of knowledge (ie “sharing the waves” vs “safety hints,” which could be in the same section). The media included in the module could stand to be improved. There are very few captions with the exception of the “standup sequence” and the surfboard diagram. There actually are some very helpful images that could be associated with the component skills to add a demonstration aspect.

Again, there is a lot of good content, but the lack of structure and well-defined component skills make it difficult to give this module a very high score in terms of the e3 scale.
