Hi Morten,

I won't comment on the videos since I haven't had time to watch it all. Looks good though.

On a technical side, I have two comments :

  • On "Learning Goals", place an empty transparent shape or hotspot underneath the 4 lesson shapes so it covers the vertical margins between the buttons. This way you won't have the background flash effect when trying to hover over lessons.
  • Use a transparent hotspot over each video to prevent the user pausing by left-click.

Hope this helps,
Alex

Hi there Alexandros

  • Learning goals was fixed for the next version. However I just unchecked the "Restore on mouse leave" for the hover effect. That did the same trick.
  • Good point about the videos. didn't notice that the seekbar moves forward even though the movie is paused. Fixing it for the next version

Thank you very much  =)

Nice work Morten. Alex pointed out 2 simple improvements which I would surely implement.

You also might want to:

  • Have the background images fade in instead of just appearing. A smoother transition can make quite a difference.
  • You could apply a fade as a slide transition as well. 
  • You use colors from the basic color scheme in you slides which is fine but doesn't really match the player color. I'dd go with a nice slate or light grey menu so it wont clash with your color scheme on the slides.

It looks nice.

I would set the transition on the state change to fade, it is just too sudden.

i found the videos difficult to watch, I don't think it is the content as I am a qualified biomedical scientist and also was a Research Nurse for for over 8 years.  

I could not get the drag and drop to work at the end of the first video.

Nice work!
