From the module, I actually liked the idea of the web from the learning objectives. A lot of the students have material presented to them digitally and on the board. I haven't drawn a physical web, but I emphasize to the students that if they can answer the learning objectives, they are going to do good for the certification exam. A lot of students agree that it helps them focus their studying when they are at home.
