>For some pages e.g. where interaction is included auto navigate
wouldn't be appropriate but auto narrate might. The only thing I would say
is that these would need to be options for each page type rather than
something only set as an LO property applying to all pages.


You only have one sound icon for the narration, so this is more difficult than  applying the settings to the whole lot, and would mean changing every model, but essentially each page would need additional properties for 'auto play narration' and 'next page on complete'

As well as liking the navigation and controls to be in the hands of the user, I also like this to be consistent - i.e. if a LO auto navigates from page 1 to 2 it should do this for pages 3 to 4 , 4 to 5 and so on. I think the consistency is more important than how it actually functions: you could argue that narration should auto start, or not, and probably fight a holy war about it, but I'd say that whatever you decide, you should always do it that way.
