How should navigation buttons work in a learning application?

Navigation elements must be clear. A user needs to know what each button does. The system should guide the user through the learning process.

By Pawan Nayar · from the LLOS AI Learning record

The rule

Navigation elements must be clear.

A user needs to know what each button does. The system should guide the user through the learning process.

Navigation buttons help a user move through content. Some buttons let a user go to the next or previous part. Other buttons help a user check their work or get a hint. The application controls when certain buttons are active. This helps the user learn step-by-step.

A student is using a learning application. The student is on a practice slide. The 'Next' button is gray and cannot be clicked. The student must answer the question correctly or make two wrong attempts. Only then does the 'Next' button become active. This ensures the student tries to learn before moving on.
