Lightboxes vs Layers
Can someone explain to me why I would opt to use a lightbox instead of a layer?
Hi Liz.
Light boxes.open up whole slides from anywhere else in the course.
Layers are just a single page of content within one slide.
They are both for quite different purposes usually.
For example, if a user gets one of my questions wrong, I might choose to show them a slide from the course which contains the learning to the question they got wrong. With a lightbox I can do this from right inside the Incorrect feedback without even leaving that slide!
Light boxes are perfect for this, and it wouldn't be possible for a layer without giving me extra work and headaches.
Thank you!
