When using predictive models to aid farmers in making a nutrient application decision:

• confirm that predictive models have been tested with satisfactory results against field experiments.
• confirm that the models show detectable reductions of nutrient leaching, as a consequence of implemented remedies.
• provide results that consider the total environmental impact of a suggested measure, in order to show a more realistic evaluation of sources of nutrient load (e.g. provide results demonstrating the combined impact of all potential nutrients, rather than results predicting application impacts of one nutrient at a time).
• provide simulations that are based on a specific climatic variable, such as air temperature, rather than general seasonal timing (early fall).
• develop a system for presenting model uncertainties appropriate to use in stakeholder dialogues.

The learning experience: Relates to personal interests and provides for personal choice and control. (the learning experience is “learner centered”)
The learning experience: Enables the learner to link new knowledge to their existing knowledge in meaningful ways.

Web-based learning 
For Web-based learning, the learning module:• Provides a complete demonstration of the concept
