Removed links to under construction pages. Previously when you clicked on a teacher or activities menu item, an "Under Construction" page would be displayed. This resulted in people giving up on trying the links. Now, menu items only appear when they link to content.

Modified design so activities or instructions open automatically. Feedback indicated that some people were unsure of how to use the applets and wished that information was displayed immediately so they did not have to go looking for it. Based on that feedback, the design was modified so that some manipulatives open up with the instructions or an activity displaying immediately.

Added linking options. You may now create links to manipulative pages that also display the instructions, teacher, or activities page. In a Windows browser the base URL for a manipulative is displayed in the address window at the top of the virtual manipulative page. In a Macintosh web browser the base URL for a manipulative can be seen by choosing Page Info from the View menu. The base URL is everything before the question mark character. You may create links that open the instructions, teacher or activities page by using syntax in the table that follows. The examples shown must be preceded by http://matti.usu.edu/nlvm/nav/.

Syntax Explanation Example
<Base URL> Manipulative page only. frames_asid_282_g_3_t_3.html
<Base URL>?open=instructions Manipulative and instructions pages. frames_asid_282_g_3_t_3.html?open=instructions
<Base URL>?open=teacher Manipulative and teacher pages. frames_asid_282_g_3_t_3.html?open=teacher
<Base URL>?open=activities Manipulative page and first activity page. frames_asid_282_g_3_t_3.html?open=activities
<Base URL>?open=activities &index=<activity index> Manipulative page and activity page specified by the index value. 0 is the index of the first activity. frames_asid_282_g_3_t_3.html?open=activities&index=2
