Learning Material

Learning resources presented in Wikihigh standard style should have the following elements:

  1. The student can keep clicking at the same physical position on the screen to go from one to the next topic with ease.
  2. While navigating from one to the next topic quickly, most of the screen surface should be used for the lesson and not for non-lesson elements such has the Wikiversity page header.
  3. All related links and possible actions should be organized in menus that are presented ahead of the lesson.
  4. A lot of white space is used to avoid overwhelming the learner with Wikipedia-style ocean of text after text.
  5. The learner is not forced to roll their eyes greatly from left to right in order to digest the lesson. In other words, keep the lesson column as narrow as the width of a standard notebook.
