Adding zoomable areas to e-learning courses is a great way to highlight important content and a useful way to make small text or details more visible for learners. Whether you’re sharing a map of an area, a graphic with important details, or a document with small text, you’ll want to consider letting learners zoom in on the content so they can take a closer, and clearer, look at the information you’re sharing.

There are countless ways you can use zoom regions in e-learning. For inspiration, check out these community examples:

  • Learn about Safari Animals in this example by Shannon Fineran that uses interactive markers to give you a closer look at each animal and associated facts.
