Navigation

This chapter uses an image map as the home page and as the primary method of navigation. To interact with the text, you roll over sections of the MOOC provider titles and then click the highlighted part of the title. Each MOOC provider title offers two clickable sections. The following letters and phrases of the MOOC provider logos are clickable and take readers to content:

Once within a specific section or frame of the chapter, another image map appears on the left of the screen annotated with individual words within a diamond shape. Each shape is clickable and, again, highlighted when you roll over it. The content for that section appears when you click its word.

In the spirit of a visual annotated analysis (inspired by Ben McCorkle’s “Annotated Obama Poster in the journal Harlot), this chapter deliberately encourages non-linear exploration and is intended to be a curated digital space. Followed links are not tracked, and the design is breadcrumb free.

To return to the launch page at any time, you can click on the section name text in ALL CAPS. While readers may navigate the chapter in any way they desire, we suggest they begin with the U in Udacity, which is the center and visual focal point of the launch page.
