We were going to approximate a sort of nonlinear navigation by hiding
certain icons in a number frame work(s) depending on the choice (say a
button) which the users make as the content is substantialy the same
but modified depending on the user choice (eg same frame work -
different navigation). We would like to store this choice in some
variable so the user is reminded of the choice made and have the
hide/show code related to the frame work as can see it would get very
tricky if you allow layers of choices or changes to a number of
frameworks . This would avoid breaking into several learning objects
with essentially duplicated content and avoid duplication of the
choice. Forward and Back option would allow navigation to follow a
certain path depending on user choice or based on a variable storing a
previous choice. Havent tried this yet (storing a variable to hide
icons etc ) so appreciate comment.<br>

Xerte then uses to take you to the page referenced by that name or key
word might be one solution. A non-linear project could offer this at
the start, to enable you to jump in at a point that you had previously
achieved. Alternatively you just keep the non-linear bits of a project
relatively short, so that starting from the beginning is not much of a
hardship.</font></span></div>

Many questions. When things start getting non-linear it becomes very
easy for someone less skilled to create a real dogs dinner, and there
are many interface considerations: to ensure the user knows where they
are in relation to the rest of the content; that they can easily get to
the other bits; and that they know what else the learning object
contains and don’t miss bits; and that they can easily return to points
of interest they’ve visted before.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

think there are probably two types of interface that would suit
toolkits; the linear one we have now; and a tree based structure where
the user drills down into the content, which could be n levels deep.
How the user navigates this is possible in many ways (a tree-based TOC,
or menu pages, or by answering MCQs or… well, you see the problem. How
to do it?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

individual exit points i.e. in this case radio buttons, each of which
has a page name assigned to it in the wizard. When the learner clicks
on the radio button they are taken to the assigned page - instant
non-linear learning objects. However with the current navigation
options I have had to turn off visuals. Previous and Next buttons have
little sense in a non-linear learning object. However what are really
useful are Home and Back buttons (Back based on a LIFO queue). So to
support my wizard I have had to create a model based on an Entry Frame,
that provides user switchable navigation components (Page n of m, Home,
Next, Previous, Back, TOC, Last). The learning object creator can thus
select which navigation options are appropriate to their learning
object.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

the volume control failing to match the other controls in a custom

would be useful to have a volume control, but if it becomes part of the

anyone not using the default interface will have to also introduce a
volume control into their interface.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

the volume control could become part of the media control bar that is
displayed when a movie or sound file is played, then this would ensure
that it was available even when the default interface was not used. The
snag here is that it would not be available for swfs where
Interactivity was set to Native swf.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

the optimum solution would be to include the volume control in the
