Some initial impressions:
- I really like the flowchart arrangement. Great idea for a top-level organization scheme! I like the way things branch out but then come back together for regularly spaced "Check points".
- Everything seems to work really well on mobile. Nice!
- There doesn't seem to be a general way to progress on to the next lesson at the bottom of each topic page. Am I missing something? Or is it your intention to have students return to the flowchart between every lesson? If so, it would be nice to have a button that just goes there (and, I would imagine, scrolls down the flowchart page to their last accessed lesson). "Back" does go to the Flow page IF that's where you immediately navigated from, but in the first two pages you actually progress on to the next lesson by clicking a link—so "Back" goes back to that page, not up to the flowchart page.
- I'm not sure about the UI/UX decision of your "Incomplete"/"Complete" indicator at the bottom of each lesson. It's odd to have a greyed out button that says "Incomplete" that changes to filled in and the word "Complete" when clicked/tapped. Also, the "Back" button looks exactly the same, but is a navigation button, not an updating status indicator. So there's some conflation of different functions with the same form there—could be confusing. The "Bookmark" button is fairly clear, but the word "Incomplete" all by itself with no other explanations does not convey very clearly to me that I'm supposed to click on it in order to mark the lesson complete (I figured that out by trial and error). Maybe try "Complete" and "Completed" to match your "Bookmark" and "Bookmarked" in the other button?

The idea is that there isn't always just one "next" option, thus the idea would be to go back to the flowchatt to choose your next lesson. However, there's probably many (like you!) who just want to be taken to the next lesson and not hassle with the navigation - great input. > I'm not sure about the UI/UX decision of your "Incomplete"/"Complete" indicator at the bottom of each lesson. Thank you! I'm sure this is something that could be improved.

I thought the whole point of the flowchart was to have a clear progression: - If there is only one next lesson show it. - If there's more than one choice for the next lesson show both. - If the end of a branch is reached, show the other next lesson(s) at the last branch minus the current branch.
- cfiggers 3y agoI made an edit or two to my original comment, so just to make sure you see it: Your "Bookmark" button conveys very clearly what it is for and what it will do when I click on it. "Bookmark" is a verb and "Bookmarked" is a status. So what about "Complete" for the greyed-out label and "Completed" for the green state? That would similarly make the deactivated button show an "Action" word—the exact action that will happen when I click it—and the activated state a "Status" word (that I can intuitively return to its original status by clicking again).
- bddicken 3y agoGreat idea. Perhaps even "Mark Complete" would be even more clear than just "Complete" (as technically, that could be either a verb or a state).
