The web site is intended to accompany and reinforce normal classroom teaching. It uses several approaches in order to keep the students interest. Various games and puzzles such as word searches and drag and drop exercises help to maintain this interest. Its use of web searches motivates the student to access knowledge themselves. It is intended to be used in conjunction with classroom teaching which would take about 25 classes but when used in isolation at the end of the teaching it would probably take five classes to complete.
