Making Interactions Obvious to Learners

Hi Angela and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! First, I wanted to let you know it looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response.

Second, thanks for asking your question here! 🙂 A few ideas that come to mind: Sometimes adding simple and clear instructions will do the trick. You can also use similar formatting/design across interactions. That consistency can make the interactions stand out from the content. Also, asking someone to go through your course with a focus on navigation can really help determine if the interactions are intuitive. Here are some resources with more information on the topic. I hope these articles help give you some more ideas!
