Using Isometric Shapes to Create Interactions in E-Learning #422
Isometric Shapes in E-Learning #422: Challenge | Recap
Looking for fresh ways to create interactive click-and-reveals or explore-type activities? Try using a 3D object, isometric graphic, or simple shapes in PowerPoint to create a custom interaction. Let’s take a look at a few ideas.
Using Images of 3D Objects
This 3D cube interaction recently shared in E-Learning Heroes shows how you can create an engaging activity using a single photo with hotspots layered over different areas of the image.
Creating Isometric Shapes in PowerPoint
If you want to create your own 3D perspective objects, then PowerPoint is a fantastic option. PowerPoint makes creating isometric shapes easy. Begin with a shape object and go to Format Object > Effects > 3D Rotation.
Challenge of the Week
This week, your challenge is to share an interaction based on a 3D shape or object. You can use images or renderings of 3D models or create your own objects using basic perspective techniques.
