completed at one sitting and there is no save facility in Xerte to get you back
to where you were. A page that has an input box, that allows you to type in
a page name or keyword, which 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>

navigation from the content. This also facilitates the re-use of content.
A learning object that shows how to crack an egg, can be included in
separate courses on how to make pancakes and how to make a victoria sponge (high
level courses these!). It doesn't resolve the situation in which the navigation

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>

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">I
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>

just finalising a page wizard that includes the capability to add 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>

navigation in Xerte could be set as configurable on a per button basis, and
include the volume control and also buttons for Home and Back (I am not sure of
the case for a Last button, I added it to my model for completeness), then
there would be no issue of the design of the volume control failing to match the
other controls in a custom navigation.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt"><SPAN

step would be to add options to page templates that would allow as many
individual page templates as possible to have one or more of their own specified
