Drop-Down Menus in E-Learning #328: Challenge | Recap
\n
Drop-down menus are a great way to consolidate navigational elements when slide space is limited. They come in all shapes, sizes, and design styles. But drop-down menus aren’t just for slide navigation. They’re an excellent addition to any e-learning toolkit. Some common uses include:
\n
\n- Slide navigation: Jump to another layer, slide, or scene using the menu’s sub-navigation links.
\n- Personalization: Choose from a list of options that personalize the course material for the learner.
\n- Quizzes: Select the correct choice, item, or phrase from a drop-down list of choices for vocabulary, language, and grammar interactions.
\n- Resources: Provide learners with slide-specific handouts, documents, job aids, and more.
\n
\n
To help kick off this week’s challenge, take a look at some creative drop-down menu examples course designers have shared in the community.

Challenge of the Week
\n
This week, your challenge is to share an example of a drop-down, fly-out, or pop-up menu effect in e-learning.
\n
If you’re new to course development, try using the shared source files to help you get started. Don’t worry about how your menu looks as much as creating a functional example.
\n
For those course designers with a little more experience, think about sharing an example that demonstrates creative ways drop-down menus can be used in real-world projects.
\n
