workBench menus and unusual links
You wouldn’t think that menus and links would spark a lot of imagination, but as it turns out, there are some really interesting examples that have been created in the workBench’s drag-and-drop environment.
The dark red spaces on this Scrabble board, for example, are links to different projects produced by a class of EFL students preparing for college in American.
Making an expansive workBench website is one of their activities for both learning language and academic skills. They photographed the board, uploaded the image, made it a background, added the red boxes and text, and then linked each red box to the opening screen of one of their projects.
There’s a new post on the TRintuition’s blog, investigating menus and ideas for links. I particularly like the use of invisible links over images. If you have a moment, take a look at the post and see if you’re inspired to break away from the traditional.
