Hidden next buttons
I'm debating with someone about the idea of hiding the next button until a learner has clicked everything or viewed an entire video.
Does it frustrate a learner and take control away from them or ...
It depends on the content. If I don't want the learner to hit the Next button and skip through the content, then I add instructions at the beginning stating the Next button will appear once the content is completed for the slide. I create my own Next and Previous buttons. because the disabled or hidden Storyline next button confuse my learners. So my Previous button will always be in the lower left corner of the screen, and my Next button will always appear in the lower right corner of the screen when the timeline finishes. I also add an audio (ding) when the Next button appears.
If the slide has content that needs to be clicked on or a video that needs to be viewed before the next button appears, then I add instructions to that slide explaining that. This is done using a voice over and then for safe measure, I add a visual note. My learners really get confused....very easily.
Thanks for your advice, Rubina.
