Deep Interactive course design

Default to doing, not reading. A page earns the slide type only when the learner has nothing to manipulate on it.

Structure

• Scene 1 is a slide: it frames the question the course answers and tells the learner what they are about to play with. One page, no more.
• The body is interactive. Each body scene isolates one mechanism, one variable, one structure — so the learner can change it and watch the result.
• The last scene is a slide or a quiz that consolidates what the manipulation showed.
• Consecutive interactive scenes must not use the same widgetType. Two simulations in a row is a design failure; vary the modality as the concept moves from "watch it" to "trace it" to "predict it".
