Intuitive navigation is an important element in e-learning design. Course designers who stick with default player menus usually don’t have to worry about user interface (UI) design since player manages the navigation.
\n
One reason rapid e-learning became so popular with instructional designers is because the tools generated the course menu, freeing IDs to design content rather than program course menus. If there’s a downside to prebuilt menus, it’s that they encourage linear, click-and-read courses.
\n
Custom navigation menus, like those often used in nonlinear courses, can permit learners to jump around the course as they choose. But moving beyond traditional menu navigation means course designers need to think more like UI designers.
\n
To jumpstart this week's challenge, I’ve rounded up some creative navigation examples your fellow community members have shared.
\n
Game Navigation
\n
Video game consoles, traditional board games, and tablet-inspired menus are excellent ways to seek inspiration.
Tabs are the most popular type of menu navigation we see in courses. They’re highly customizable and can be created using a variety of shapes and styles. If you go with a tabs menu, please cross-post in the tabs challenge.
Icons and graphics are another popular approach to course menus. When used consistently, visual buttons can remove the need for on-screen button labels. If you’re looking for tips on building your own icons, check out last week’s icon e-learning challenge.
Similar to the icon-based navigation, map themes are a creative alternative to text-based menus. Nicola shared a branching example based on a village illustration.

Here is a quick demonstration of one I created a while ago using hotspots. As you will be able to see there are several hotspots available to click but just the brain is active to show you an example of how it was used. Hope you like :)
