for Final Project

Basic Theatre Course
Designed by: Tom Shamrell
Date: 3/31/2015

User controls: The user should be able to navigate from slide to slide and have the ability to pause, play, rewind and fast-forward within
each slide

Animations: Should be used to enhance the story without distracting from it. The ID can utilize animations to help illustrate points but there
should be a balance so that the learner is not told exactly what to do as this course has elements of discovery within it, therefore a few
examples can be used to avoid telling the learner and facilitator to perform in an exact manner.

Branching notes: The ID should set up the questions within the course to halt the instruction until the question or quiz is completed.
Additionally, wrong and right answers should be explained prior to moving on within the course.
