What if the images were dynamically hidden / replaced with live
interacts when the evaluate button was clicked and then later restored
after the interact timed out / was done being messed around with?
Granted, I'm not familiar with the wiki system that's used so this
kind of dynamic effect might be fairly tedious to implement, but it
would seem to (a) allow users to quickly browse the interact library,
(b) play around with individual interacts, if they choose to do so,
and (c) solve the potential confusion associated with having both
static pictures and interacts shown on the page since only one or the
other would be shown, which would correspond to the one which the user
would want to be shown.
