Jump pages has the advantage of being simple "does what it says on the tin" and non-technical to avoid baffling people like me.

Subject: Naming of a new group of pages
Hello everyone,
I have developed some new pages that hopefully will make the next release of XOT and Xerte.
Currently standard XOT projects are linear i.e. the learner moves forward or backward through the project, like turning the pages of a book.
With these new pages this need no longer always be the case. For example the learner may be presented with a multiple choice question. For each answer option you will be able to specify a pageID that will define the page the learner will be taken to if he selects that answer. Another page presents an image with hotspots. Each hotspot has a pageID associated with it and when the learner clicks on a hotspot he is taken to the associated page.
OK you get the idea. The question is - we need a new menu category in which to put them.
Navigators has already been used for pages that do something rather different e.g the accordion page and the tabbed navigator page.
We want a page that conveys what these pages do - that is they provide the learner with choices that lead to different pages in the project.
Current suggestions include
Routed pages
Routing pages
Linking pages
Multi Exit pages
Defined Exit pages
Branching pages
Directors
Routers
Redirectors
Junctions
(apologies to anyone who has suggested an alternative that I have missed off the list, these are all I can remember at present)
Do any of these names strike you as being particularly appropriate?
Can you think of an alternative that would be better?
Kind regards
Johnathan
