Links that provide related but divergent information, such as references or citations on a particular topic, are supplemental. Provide a linear pathway through documents, allowing users to proceed from one screen or topic to the next. The WWW is a hypermedia system based on non-linear text and other media forms. While Web documents are non-linear, readers often read them linearly. Use descriptive headings, titles, links, or graphics.
Users make navigational decisions based on informational content.
Graphics and other links should closely support the information. Create concept maps for topics. Concept maps are graphic illustrations that show how information or concepts are organized. Maps provide a visual guide to the presented information and demonstrate how topics are organized or structured. The above are a few suggestions that may help you design Web pages for courses.
