10 Elearning Interaction Ideas You May Not Have Thought Of Yet — from theelearningcoach.com by Connie Malamed
Is click-to-reveal always bad for learning?
Not necessarily. Click-to-reveal interactions can be useful when you want to manage cognitive load, reveal information gradually, or work within limited screen space. In those cases, clicking supports the presentation of information.
However, from an instructional perspective, clicking alone does not make an interaction meaningful. An interaction adds value when it asks learners to think, not just trigger more content.
The interaction ideas below require learners to analyze, judge, predict, or diagnose. These are the types of mental actions learners perform in real work settings. Each one includes a short, real-world question to show how the idea might be used in practice.
