Hi all,
Mine this week is not exactly one of the principles, but sort of related to them, in a way, sort of, kinda.
My blog post explains (briefly!) my idea: http://veronicab.com.au/to-audio-or-not-to-audio/

I laughed (diabolically) when I noticed the recommendation not to lock navigation. :) Locked navigation is my biggest pet hate. I've been recently subjected to a mandatory compliance training (yes, instructional designers actually have to receive compliance trainings once in a while :) ) where I was not allowed to move forward until the narration stopped reading the exact same text I could clearly see on the slide.
Always reminds me of the scene in the "Clockwork Orange", where the main character is strapped into a chair with his eyes held open. :)

- Maija, Your comment about locked navigation reminded me of an old blog post I wrote about it quoting the Eagles song "Hotel California" where they say "You can check out any time you like, but you can NEVER LEAVE!!!" Ha Ha!
- Yes, I know! I have worked on several projects for large companies as a subcontractor for another e-learning firm, and was asked each time to lock the screen until the audio completes, they even narrated the instructions like "Click next to continue"! I couldn't believe that such innovative firms would not at least try to convince, with evidence, that locking down the navigation was a baaaad idea.
