Interactivity in Web-based Courses../Library/link%20to%20presentation%20pages

If you you followed a link to another page which sent you back here, answer the quiz and click on "Go to next page". Access to that page is denied until you answer the quiz correctly.
Interactivity is, in many ways, the name of the game. In keeping with the philosophy of using each

medium to its best advantage, one of the strengths of the Web is the ability to get away from passive pages and move to pages which engage the student in active learning. For example, we could design a page which forces you to take some action before you can read the rest of the page. This is the ultimate method of forcing a student to think before reading the next piece of text. As a pedagogic practice, however, it may be questionable and there are other alternatives.

There is an example in the demo course: The conditional link "In the Limit" will not permit you to see the very last page of the course until you have taken the quiz. Here is an example of this done purely with Javascript: You will not be able to access the next page until you correctly answer the following question. If you have not answered the question correctly during this browser session, and you try to access the next page directly, you will bounce back here.
