B10 – Navigation Links
Issue Definition
Links (textual or represented by
Symbols) are essential in navigating an e-learning course as well as any hypertextual and/or interactive
product. Attention must be paid in designing such elements since course comprehension can be greatly affected by their
effectiveness.

visible, identifiable and easily accessible

Textual
content colour in a link should be in contrast to link background

size of the link should be appropriate in order to make it visible
