Automatically Uncheck Restrict Next/Back When Selecting Free
I just discovered this little UX/UI issue! If you have content Restricted with ☑️Restrict Next / Previous selected, as such: And then select Free from the dropdown: It doesn't show that checkbox for Restrict Next / Previous, but it still behaves as if the buttons are restricted when published. To change, you have to go back in, select Restricted from the dropdown, uncheck⬜ Restrict Next / Previous, then re-select Free from the dropdown. My expectation was that, because the checkbox disappeared, selecting Free would automatically disable the restriction of the next and back buttons. It also is not intuitive to fix - I was very puzzled why I couldn't find the setting until I retraced my steps - why would someone change settings to disable a checkbox specific to that setting? An alternative would be just having Restrict Next / Previous not tied to any Menu Navigations Restrictions state.16 Navigation Examples That Skip the Next Button #462

Beyond the E-Learning Next Button #462: Challenge | Recap The “Next” button often gets a bad rap in e-learning. It’s commonly associated with linear, information-heavy courses that promote passive learning, leading learners to click through screens without truly engaging with the content. To be fair, the blame doesn’t lie with the Next button itself. Blaming the Next button for boring e-learning is like blaming the Play button for a boring video. For course designers, a good design exercise is to reimagine course navigation without relying on the ubiquitous next button. How would your learners navigate forward and backward? Can you integrate the course content into the navigation? Can interactive objects like sliders, dials, or text-entry fields be used in place of next and back buttons? 🏆 Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to show alternatives to using the next button. You can create something new or rework an existing project. Please include the original with your entry if you modify an existing project. Seeing both examples will help users connect the dots between where you started and where you finished. And if you have time, create multiple variations to show how clicks, slides, hovers, drags, and typing can advance learners through the course. 🧰 Resources Check out e-learning challenge #144’s examples to get an idea of what designers came up with in a related challenge.
