"Concise, clear and helpful. I'd like more."

"Like format of short pieces with more in-depth information linked to the site."

"I'm glad the modules were concise and did not take long to work through. I loved the fact that it was interactive. Great job!"

"Just wanted to let you know how useful your literacy modules are. I'm teaching a course in nutr. Ed, and we are discussing literacy this week. I'm going to direct the students to your web site and have them review the literacy modules. I learned about this from an APHA (American Public Health Association) nutrition section newsletter. Thanks for sharing your expertise." --- nutrition faculty at an American university

It is gratifying to know that students are being reached with this information. As I stated previously, many are not exposed to plain language skills and information during their academic coursework.

Some of the modules have been published in materials such as the "Diabetes Patient Education Manual" and "Pain Management Patient Education Resource Manual" - both products of Aspen Publishing.

In closing, these modules serve a purpose for those in the health and nutrition field seeking quick and focused information about developing or identifying easy-to-read materials.
