Evaluation
Introduction into Health Care textbook would be a good reference book for a class in the Health Occupations career track. This textbook deals with finding a job, characteristics of the employee, and behaviors for employees. There is a section on the human body and medical terminology. This textbook is missing a majority of the required learning/teaching standards for the Introduction into Health care.

| Physical Characteristics | This material goes beyond the content outlined in "Adequate" by incorporating modern, up-to-date, and relatable visuals. | In physical terms, the material is interactive and provides high-quality audio-visual and tactile experiences for all users. | The material offers limited or low-quality audio-visual and tactile experiences for students, but it is reusable. | The content either has low audio-visual quality or is not intended for reuse. | ||
| Only had the online version. So each student would need to purchase or the school purchase a license to use the Mindtap that has the book intergraded into it. | ||||||
| Technical Standards | This material surpasses the content outlined in "Adequate" by ensuring the safeguarding of student data privacy and easy installation or access without technical assistance. Furthermore, any licensing information is clearly stated in the description. | The materials meet all the requirements of federal and state laws, as well as accepted technical standards such as ISTE Standards and VPAT Compliance. Additional technical specifications and limitations, including hardware requirements, bandwidth demands, and software/web access restrictions, are clearly outlined in the description. The design of the materials allows for error-free installation or access without the need to purchase additional components. | The material is constrained by specifications that require additional materials, technical assistance, hardware, software, or infrastructure. Access to resources within the material expires after a trial period. | Student data privacy is at risk. | ||
| This textbook comes with a Mindtap program. This program is a good addition to just the textbook itself. It will lead students through what they need to do with each unit. It also lets the students know what additional assignments or activities will be in that chapter and unit. | ||||||
| Adaptability | The material is currently relevant and adaptable for teacher and student use in individualized or group instructional settings across multiple content areas. The material can be customized for the needs of diverse learners. | Educators or students can utilize the material, but it may not be customizable for the needs of diverse learners. | The material has limited options to address adaptability for the needs of diverse learners. | The material is not suitable for different educational settings with diverse learners. | ||
| This textbook does have some good reference material that could be used to increase a students knowledge of certain subjects. It does have some "Thinking it through" questions which would be a good activity to help students with their critical thinking skills. | ||||||
