In this posting I want to relate what I learned in this section of the course.
The term Basic Interaction did put me off slightly as I went in with the "I only need to give this a cursory glance as I know it" attitude which is plaguing me this module.
On reflection the key piece of learning in this section was the Navigation Structures section. As previously stated I am a Learning Designer and I spend quite a bit of time explaining that e-learning doesn't necessarily have to be linear. The section allowed me to understand clearly when structures need to be defined in particular circumstances to allow better information design.
I tried out this theory on some e-learning I was designing and tried so hard to not make it linear. In the end I gave up. The e-learning in question was a software simulation demonstrating how users use the learndirect systems to manage the learner journey. In the end chronological journey meant linear structure. I looked into branching scenarios off but time got the better of me.
When I begin to design the site I think I will mock up in powerpoint like I do for my storyboarding techniques and then arrange on a whiteboard to work out the best structure and relationship between the pages.

In my research to help me with this module I have found a great channel on YouTube!
