| Interactivity
Levels 1-4 |
Description |
| Level 1:
Low Interactivity (Page-Turner) |
Normally knowledge
or familiarization content provided in a linear format, sometimes
referred to as a page turner. Level 1 is primarily used for introducing
an idea or concept. The user has little or no control over the sequence
and timed events of the lesson material. Minimal interactivity may
include simple graphics and/or clip art and simple forward/backward
navigation. |
| Level 2:
Moderate Interactivity with Emulation |
Involves presentation
and recall of more information than Level 1 and offers more control
over the content. Typically used for non-complex operations and maintenance
lessons or more complex knowledge presentations, such as simple procedures
and steps. Emulations or simulations may be presented via original
graphics and simple animation, usually with accompanying audio narration.
Navigation options expand to include menus, forward/backward, branching,
index/map pages, and glossaries. |
| Level 3:
Intermediate Interaction/Simulation |
Involves interaction
with more complex information and allows an increased level of control.
Video, graphics, or a combination can illustrate or simulate the operation
of a system, subsystem, or equipment, model procedures, or display
complex images. Users may be required to alternate between multiple
screens to keep pace with the content. Multiple branches (two to three
levels) and rapid response are provided to support remediation. Emulations
and simulations are an integral part of this presentation, however
these are not full free play simulations. Graphics include complex
original images, animations, videos, and complex audio support. |
| Level 4:
Advanced Interaction/Simulation |
Involves detailed
presentation, comprehension, and recall of highly complex information
and allows almost full control over content. Most tasks and procedures
are demonstrated with full interaction, similar to simulator technology.
Content is extremely complex and involves more authentic scenarios
to improve knowledge transfer. Complicated operation and maintenance
procedures are normally practiced with level 4 and involve all of
the elements of levels 1 - 3 plus the following: advanced interactivity,
extensive branching via multiple menus, and complex animations and
video. |
