Moving beyond plain text
A simple, yet highly effective technique is to 'hide' some of the content by only making it available as feedback to reflective, formative questions. Although this represents only a basic level of interaction it stops students from falling into the trap of becoming purely passive recipients.
Here the technique is demonstrated as part of a clinical coding exercise. Although many developers might choose to use a Flash resource for this kind of simple quiz, using an HTML-based solution allows for the kind of lengthy, constructive feedback that is far more difficult to provide in a Flash movie.
