Tips and Suggestion – Using
Interactivity for Rapid Development
•
Create an interactivity “sampler” to show to internal
customers, SME’s, etc. Review before design activities.
•
Don’t create navigation controls at the page level. It’s a waste
of time.
•
Page turning isn’t bad if used in moderation. Add a healthy
mix of interactivity.
•
When prototyping, create a prototype for each interaction, not
just a single lesson or module.
•
Consider using multiple tools to meet the need.
•
One caution: make sure interactivity choices don’t
overshadow the instruction. It is possible to use too much of a
good thing.
