The participants took the course asynchronously on their own time and assessed for themselves their own performance. Each processing step was equipped with links to pre-quest and post-assessment tests. A post survey was used to evaluate the results of the learning module. Results show that the participants found both the graphical representation and the visual interface helpful. They found the incomplete learning module on OCR at best moderately useful in helping them digitize text. It is recommended that a facility be added by which participants can interact with each other. The design and development of the website and detailed results will be provided during the TCC presentation.
