ErgoTrainer does a limited amount of adapting. ErgoTrainer only adapts in the sense that it allows non-sequential access to the information it contains. This dimension refers to the system's ability to provide information about the situation. In ErgoTrainer the feedback provides the student with information which allows the student to determine what to do next. For example, when the student selects an incorrect checklist item rating, the feedback not only lets the student know that he or she is incorrect but also tells the student what he or she needs to do to figure out the correct rating.
Interactive programs provide options for the user to choose from.
Allowing the student to page through sequential information is not providing options. The user should have more than one course of action to take. In ErgoTrainer, the student has the option of pressing any button he or she wants. If an inappropriate button is pressed, then the student is given feedback on why it was not an appropriate button at this time. Information should flow from the user to the computer as well as from the computer to the user.
