Text Timing
What's a good rule of thumb for timing between text boxes? I like to give the reader time to read the previous text before the new text comes in, but sometimes it seems like I'm giving too much time...
Hi, Marshall,
When I'm taking a course, it's frustrating when I have to wait for text to appear. No doubt other fast readers feel the same.
IMHO, it's best to do either of the following:
- Just show all the text at the same time.
- If you want to parse out the text, show the first piece, and let the user click something to reveal each subsequent piece. In other words, create a build, but put the user in control of when the items appear.
