Hey there! I need to create comparisons for up to 4 products (i.e. 4 different flashlights on sale). I've created a reference table with differentiators in technical specs and price, but I'm looking for a fun and quick visual way to introduce each product and help learners differentiate between each one. Any recommendations?
Video is not an option in this case. I identified some "before and after" comparisons in a past ELH Challenge, but couldn't find any comparisons examples for 3+ items.
What does your chart look like? Can you have empty categories with "check marks" for each category that is fulfilled by the individual product? If so you could use 4 images of the products and show the checkmarks in the columns on hover?
Another idea would be to use a dial that filled in the specs one product at a time.
I was thinking that this week's challenge might be a good, fun way to show the differences.
Have images of each of the 4 flashlights on the screen, and markers at key differences spots. Users could click on the markers to see what the differences were.
I ended up creating an intro slide where you could use buttons to learn about each unique product (on different layers). And then I included scenario-based knowledge checks which had a "reference" button. If you clicked the button, a comparison chart of all products would slide out for you to refer back to. I viewed it as more critical that learners understand what specs to look for and how to use that information to make informed recommendations rather than memorize exact specs.

I had done an example for an eLearning challenge about tables.
That's really cool Michael!

This is awesome! Really impressed by how you can x-out different items in order to switch up the comparison. Thanks for sharing!

sounds like a great solution!
