Hi Nicole,
the interaction is nice example of how to implement the slider widget in a course. However, from an instructional perspective could be slightly misleading, in that it suggest the idea that the assembly procedure is a continuous one, while the same procedure is best represented as piecewise. This because the cognitive system has the tendency to segment even continuos events (e.g., Zacks et al., 2001) in discrete parts. In this particular case I would rather have used something like the more classical “process” interaction in Engage.

Hi Franco, you're absolutely right re. segmenting. I think the (hidden) power of this super small learning nugget is that the slider is also a sort of progress bar.
I think it works for small content pieces but I wouldn't want to use it on a 50 slide course :)
Hi Jeff,
I came across this demo today and found it to be very cool. A different approach towards step-by-step learning. And yes, I agree for small content pieces, it'd work great.
