aImplementers’ students were invited to take the postcourse online SALG survey at the conclusion of their respective courses. The SALG invites students to respond on a 5-point scale. Depending on the syntax of the SALG question, some responses were in the form of “no help/little help/moderate help/much help/great help.” On questions of “how much did you gain …?,” responses included “no gain/a little/some/much/a great deal.” Seventy-six students completed the SALG. Mean (SD) scores for pooled statements in each category are presented for the seven CREATE implementations (CIs). Implementers who taught CREATE in Spring 2008 used the original SALG; those who taught in Fall 2008 (implementations 6 and 7) used a new version, redesigned and altered slightly by the SALG site developers in Summer 2008. We aligned categories of the original and new SALG surveys and combined original SALG category 4 and new SALG category 5, as they addressed the same issue.
