Today I downloaded and install all new update 5 for SL 2.
I was wondering what is Tab order feature actually does. I checked on this link. However I am still not clear what purpose this feature serves. Is there any working example of this, or anyone can explain it bit more?
What this does is, for someone that might be using a keyboard or other device to navigate your course, instead of a mouse, is directs the navigation order of the items on the screen.
Instead of thinking of a "Tab - like on a folder", think instead of "Tab - as in the key on your keyboard". People that need to use a keyboard instead of a mouse will press the tab-key to move around the screen. Typically items are in the "tab order" of (the :
last item placed on screen
then second last
etc
prev button
next button
menu
notes
resources (etc)
This new "tab order" feature allows you to change the order of the items you have placed on your slide into the proper order that directs the learning (of the person that will use a keyboard for navigating) as you intended.
