Exploring & Zooming Images in E-Learning #496: Challenge | Recap
A common challenge for e-learning designers is making sure important details remain clear when documents are scaled down. Small text becomes hard to read, numbers lose clarity, and key information can easily get overlooked.
That’s where exploration techniques like zooming and magnification help. They give learners the options to dive in and see what really matters. And that's what this week's e-learning challenge is all about!
