Favorite methods of interactivity
Jan 06, 2012
I'm working on prototyping some different ways we can make our lessons more interactive and engaging for the student. We already use a lot of Engage interactions, but this time we're looking for something a little different to spice things up a bit. Let me also note that in this case, we're not looking to build any scenarios (those are being utilized in a different area of the curriculum). This is purely the meat and potatoes of learning key terms.
Currently I've been creating image hot spots with pop-ups using branching and master slides, similar to this:
I'd love to hear what other creative ideas you utilize to present this type of information???

Great question, Kristin. The labeled graphic/marker interaction is one of the most popular ways for highlighting specific areas of an image or video.
Here are a few examples I like. While they were created in Flash or html5, there's no reason we couldn't recreate them in Studio:
Thanks for the links David! I especially like the jeans example and how the image on the left changes with each click (although jeans costing $300 truly bums me out!)
Very helpful
Thanks David for the links and Kristin for starting the discussion. I can't tell you how much I have learned from coming here and often just browsing the discussion topics. Going to put a couple of these ideas to use on a project I am getting ready to start.
Kristin - what types of content are you working with? Maybe we can add some more specific interactive ideas to this thread.
Hi David,
I'm working on a large Customer Service Project
I really like the 'nana tech' approach - could suit my needs
I PM'ed you to get your 2 cent worth.
Cheers

We are working on business modules. Specifically starting with management and marketing (product packaging and product life cycle/ difference between consumers and customers). We do have a scenario portion as well, but right we also have a lot of key terms to work the learner though outside of the scenarios.
The content is for students in middle school/ high school, so we require them to go though all the content. I am intending however, that they can navigate though the content without having to use the forward and back buttons, but instead looping through branching slides.
Hi David - these are almost all not online anymore - except for the Jeans one, which is behind a WSJ paywall. Are they available on your website or online, or do you have newer examples of interactivity?
