Where would we put that? As a button on the main page? What would we do if - for instance - you had just finished a whole song lesson and there was no particular next? No button?

Thanks for taking the time to tell us about your idea.


Ok, I think I figured out my error. I did not realize that at the end of a chapter, the flow would roll over to the next one. I thought you would have to go back to the main flow and find where you were (i.e. I'm done with 3, so I guess I go to 4?).

That being said, I think it would be a nice feature to have a "checklist" of sorts that would allow a student to see where they are and where they are going (to provide a taste of how much material is to come). I think the diagram you have at the top of the Core Learning Systems page that shows the different blocks is a good start, maybe expand on that?

Where I am coming from, I have to do a lot of training for my job, which is put into a "learning plan" that I then go check off as I go through the training. It helps to give me an idea of not only what I have completed (which your history provides), but also what I have ahead of me (which gives me an idea of the work remaining). I don't regard practicing the guitar as work, but it is always nice to see where you are going :-) We could also add a "specialty flow", such as the Acoustic Basics lessons, or Blues, or whichever style we plan to play.

As for where to put it, maybe having a "lesson plan" button on the top next to History? Either that or create a "homepage" where I can see my history and lesson plan on one page.

Really love the site, though, and looking forward to seeing all the lessons that you have (there are definitely a lot of them!).
