Embedded demonstrations should let readers control pace and parameters instead of running automatically.

Controlling animation pace improved transfer-test results but did not improve retention-test results.

Priority
Determines how demos in this lab should be presented; learning transfer can be measured with simple questions.
Experiments
No experiments yet.
How to test it: Compare looping animation, step buttons, and a parameter slider in an easing explanation. Test transfer understanding afterward.
