overview about the feedback from the TAO-Team
impression of the start page

positive:

 * emphasize important links
 * more information on the project
 * name learning actvities in the introduction
 * hints to the philosophy of Wikiversity

 experience in creating your first learning/research activity What works out well?

 * Einbauen von Bildern, Einhaltung von Lizenzen (freie Bilder) schwierig
 * mangelnde Rückmeldung erfordert Frustrationstoleranz
 * stärkere Nutzung von Hypertext/Verlinkung notwendig
