Elements
Accordians: Using an accordion allows the learner to focus on learning the list first, then expanding their understanding by opening each accordion. Scaffolding content in this way supports the cognitive organization of this information.
Tabs: Tabs are useful for providing information that belongs in a series. For example, laying out the information from a scientific study that has a hypothesis, a method, and findings.
Click and Reveal: Click and Reveals are a useful tool when you want to present a learner with a question, statement, or fact to reflect on before they select a button to reveal the key learning related to the original statement. You can also use a Click and Reveal to provide additional optional learning materials.
Callouts: Callouts are useful for drawing attention to a key detail or an aside to the primary content, like a case study, definition, or anecdote.
Timelines: A timeline is useful for laying out events over a period of time, the steps in a process, or items in a series. A timeline can also be useful for demonstrating two sides of a conversation.
Stylized Quote: A stylized quote uses large, stylized quotation marks and color to set it apart from primary content.
Flip Cards: Flip cards are an excellent choice for displaying a collection of items, that don’t necessarily have a strict structure in their relationship to one another. Think of flip cards like items that belong in the same group that can be laid out at random without impacting meaning.
Carousels: Carousels are a great way to showcase steps in a process or display related items.
Hot Spots: Hotspots provide a multilayer learning experience enriched with multimedia and interactive components that promote exploration, analysis, and evaluation.
Practices
Fill in the Blanks: To recall and apply knowledge, enhancing retention and understanding. This interactive question type supports diverse learning objectives by promoting critical thinking and reinforcing key concepts
Multi-Select: Multi-select questions encourage users to analyze options and identify multiple correct answers, fostering deeper comprehension and critical thinking. This question type supports nuanced assessments by evaluating a user's ability to distinguish between similar concepts and apply knowledge in complex scenarios.
Multiple Choice: This question type supports targeted evaluation of knowledge and comprehension while offering immediate opportunities for feedback and learning reinforcement.
Sorting: Sorting questions promote active learning by requiring users to organize items into a logical sequence or category, enhancing their analytical and organizational skills. This interactive format supports deeper understanding by encouraging users to recognize patterns, relationships, and hierarchies within the content.
Sequencing: Sequencing questions challenge users to arrange steps or events in the correct order, reinforcing their understanding of processes and chronological relationships. This question type supports skill-building in logical reasoning and comprehension of workflows or timelines.
True/False: True or False questions provide a quick and effective way to assess users’ understanding of key concepts by evaluating their ability to distinguish between accurate and inaccurate statements. This question type supports straightforward assessments while offering opportunities for immediate feedback and reinforcement of core ideas.
