Engaging Learners in Course Interactions

So how do you visually indicate where or what a user should click on? How do they know when they are supposed to interact with your course content?

Here are some examples of what I call “click alerts”. I like to use click alerts through out the course to help the user know when I expect them to interact with content. The click alerts below are made in flash and usually have a slight pulse or strobe. This subtle movement is enough to catch the user’s attention but is not distracting.

Flash Examples: (go ahead and click on them)

If you would like to see more, there are some interactive e-Learning Flash Templates.

Here’s an image of a few more alerts:
