Must Click Buttons Before Moving to Next Page
July 15, 2009 12:00 AM
I do think there are times when you want to make advancing to the next page conditional on seeing everything on the current page -- not so much to "force" learners to see it all, but, rather, to avoid them missing something accidentally (either because they didn't realize there was more to see or because they forgot to click the other buttons before clicking Next or whatever). Also, although it may be fine for learners to skip content pages, I usually want to make sure that they've at least done the practice-activity (quiz question) pages.
That said, I often do the same thing as Ben (using a variable to determine whether they've been to that page before, and, if so, remove any impediments to immediately going to the next page) and I always have a Menu button on every page, which the learner can use to get "around" the page if they want to, as well (I never disable the Menu button).
Just my $.02...
