I have very short microlearning simulations. Is there a creative way to display additional information (not instructional captions) that is unique from the captions and not annoying to the learner?
Hi Stephanie! This is just an idea, but when I have additional information to share outside of the main content, I sometimes use an 'i' icon/button that learners can click to reveal more. Not sure if that works in your case, but I thought I'd share as a possible solution.
I have created a button with a coach (character) avatar. I reused the instructional caption and added the character on the dialogue layer. I had to tweak the trigger so it showed the ccaption on the button click rather than the mouse hover. It is alot of tedious work but it looks good.
Here is a draft copy of the project. (The avatar was fixed before publishing.)
