* As mentioned above, some students find the Molecular Rover frustrating to pilot, which distracts from their learning about molecular structure. | * As mentioned above, some students find the Molecular Rover frustrating to pilot, which distracts from their learning about molecular structure. However, there are only three Rover-based activities ([http://rover.concord.org rover.concord.org]). None of the 20-some ''Science of Atoms and Molecules'' activities ([http://mw2.concord.org/tmp.jnlp?address=http://mw2.concord.org/public/part1/index.cml SAM List]) are Rover-based. | ||
* Concord Consortium staff state that the time commitment threshold for authoring simple Activities is low. However, authoring sophisticated ''Molecular Workbench'' Activities (such as the SAM Activities linked above) requires a substantial time commitment. This is not surprising given the powerful and diverse capabilities and responses that are built into such Activities. | * Concord Consortium staff state that the time commitment threshold for authoring simple Activities is low.
