Engagement and interactivity with just one page

So what can you do with just one HTML page?

1. Anything you can do in print -   This will include pages with things like

informational text
quizzes
exercises
projects
cut outs to assemble
puzzles
sheet music
art
recipies

2. Web quests - Bernie Dodge of San Diego State University seems to be the father of web quests, which he defines as "an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web."  His WebQuest page has lots of top-quality info - http://edweb.sdsu.edu/webquest/webquest.html

3. Quiz questions with answers hidden in forms

Question 1. Which tag is not required on every HTML page?

<HEAD><HTML><BODY><HEADER><TITLE>

4. Quiz questions with answers hidden in Javascript alerts

Question 1: Which tag is not required on every HTML page?
<HEAD>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<HEADING>
<TITLE>

There are several methods of Javascript alerts; this is just one.  See Paul Colton's Live Software page at http://www.livesoftware.com/jrc/alerts/

The basic code for each response is below:

<A HREF="thispage.htm" onClick="alert('Your message')">Display text</A>
