This may be mission impossible. I can't remember the search term I used that produced examples of how people demonstrated using the interface. The one I'm looking for had a a background image (photo style, I think). On it were hand-drawn arrows pointing to the video player button, the previous and next... with some hand-written style text for explanation. It was all on one screen. There may have been an arrow pointing to the top right for exit or resources. However I did it, there were several examples. I've tried "navigation instructions"...... no luck. Any ideas? It was not a template with hand-drawn arrow styles.
Hi, Janet -- Is something like this what you have in mind? You may also want to post your question over in the Building Better Courses forum to see if some of those folks can chime in with design ideas you could use. :)
That's the idea, but that's the template I was refering to (the one that's *not* the one I was looking for.) However, the one I saw had those types of arrows pointing to the actual controls. So the image I saw had the player around it, and the arrows pointed to the parts of the player.
It's ok if I post this exact same question in the Building Better Courses forum?
Hi, Janet -- Thanks for your response and too bad the link I suggested is the one you were referring to, but please check out the info Jill provided, and if need be, you'd definitely still be welcome to post the same question over in the BBC forum. :)
Thanks--I had seen a couple of those, but not the challenge. It's probably simpler, having seen those examples, if I just bite the bullet and do one, rather than keep on searching!!! Lots of good ideas posted.

Hi Christie,

Hi Janet,
There was an elearning challenge recently that may point you in the right direction:
#92 Guided Tours and Navigation Instructions:
https://community.articulate.com/articles/guided-tours-navigation-instructions-elearning
There are lots of examples here - perhaps the one you are looking for is here - or an even better idea!
Hope it helps,
Jill
Also Janet - here is one of Tom's blog posts on this topic: http://blogs.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/more-than-a-dozen-ways-to-navigate-an-e-learning-course/
