Having more than two Answer Reveals requested, in a row, takes up a lot of vertical space and can make the lesson page longer than it needs to be. Some alternatives would be:

1. Interactive Table: Answer each question below, on your own. Once you’ve got it, click on the question to check your answer.
   • Best with small to medium amounts of content
2. Flip boxes: Answer each question below, on your own. Once you’ve got it, click on the question to check your answer.
   • Best for small to medium amounts of content. Question and answer should be present on the back of the flip box, so students can still see them in relation to one another.
3. Vertical Tab Set with an Answer Reveal Button: Click through the tabs below and answer each question. When you’re ready, click the button to see your answer.
   • Best for 3+ questions with medium to large amounts of content. The question and answer should be stacked, question on top, answer below. Each tab will be titled 'Question 1,' 'Question 2,' 'Question 3' and so on.

The interactive table is set up so when the left column is clicked it will reveal the remaining columns in that row. The column widths are adjustable, to fit requested content. These tables can contain a lot of information that may be better suited for a different layout if there are more than 10 rows with medium to large amounts of content, or images and audio are requested (particularly in column 1). Some alternatives would be:

1. Vertical Tab Set with an Answer Reveal Button: Click through the tabs below and [insert objective]. When you’re ready, click the button to see your answer.
   • Best for 3+ questions with medium to large amounts of content. The question and answer should be stacked, question on top, answer below. Each tab will be titled '[Example Specific Title] 1,' '[Example Specific Title] 2,' '[Example Specific Title] 3' and so on.
2. Slide Show with a Reveal Button: Work your way through each [objective specific] below and then move on to the next by clicking the arrow.
   • Best for small to medium amounts of content. Horizontal space is limited in this interactive, especially in smaller viewports, so content should be stack and not side by side.
3. Flip boxes: “[insert objective]. Once you’ve got it, click on the [insert object on front of card] to see the answer.
   • Best for small to medium amounts of content, especially images requested in column 1. Use the grid to maximize layout and manually adjust height if needed. No clickable elements on the front of the flip box. If audio accompanies it, it can be placed above or below the flip box.
4. Flashcards: Work your way through each flashcard and remove it from the deck when you think you’ve got it.
   • Best with small to medium amounts of content. An audio path version is available if a clip is needed. This interactive shuffles each time the page is loaded and will not be viewed in the order it appears in the lesson document.
5. Accordion Tabset: Look at each tab, below, and click on the [content specific text-based item] to learn more/see the answer.
   • Best for small to medium amounts of content. Tab titles can be short sentences, questions, or general titles like ‘Step 1.’ Revealed content can contain images, text or tables.

Lightboxes are very versatile but can be boring if routinely requested. Some alternatives would be:

1. Slide Show with a Reveal Button: Work your way through each [objective specific] below and then move on to the next by clicking the arrow.
   • Best for small to medium amounts of content. Horizontal space is limited in this interactive, especially in smaller viewports, so content should be stacked and not side by side.
2. Vertical Tab Set with an Answer Reveal Button: Click through the tabs below and [insert objective]. When you’re ready, click the button to see your answer.
   • Best for 3+ questions with medium to large amounts of content. The question and answer should be stacked, question on top, answer below. Each tab will be titled '[Example Specific Title] 1,' '[Example Specific Title] 2,' '[Example Specific Title] 3' and so on.
3. Flashcards: Work your way through each flashcard and remove it from the deck when you think you’ve got it.
   • Best with small to medium amounts of content. An audio path version is available if a clip is needed. This interactive shuffles each time the page is loaded and will not be viewed in the order it appears in the lesson document.

Students shouldn’t have to scroll up and down to view the content on each slide. If this happens, there may be more content than is appropriate for this interactive. Some alternatives would be:

1. Horizontal Tabset: Take a look at the [insert specific content] on each tab below.
   • Best for medium to large amounts of content with graphs, tables, interactive elements and/images that accompany text. Utilize the grid system to maximize layout.
2. Vertical Tabset: Take a look at the [insert specific content] on each tab below.
   • Best for medium amounts of content with graphs, tables, interactive elements and/images that accompany text. Utilize the grid system to maximize layout in larger viewports. Content should be stacked in smaller viewports since there is less horizontal space available.
3. Accordion Tabset: Look at each tab, below, and click on the [content specific text-based item] to learn more/see the answer.
   • Best for small to medium amounts of content. Tab titles can be short sentences, questions or general titles like ‘Step 1.’ Revealed content can contain images, text or tables.

The general formatting for both interactives is relatively identical. (They both require the same information). So, when should you use one vs. the other?

Though we CAN have more than one Mismatch or Multiple Choice interactive on a page, it’s best to try an at least alternate between the two so we don’t overuse any one in particular. Additional alternatives for either of these interactive would be:

1. Interactive Table: Look at the following questions and when you have your answer, click on the question to see the correct answer.
   • Best used when there are two text-based answer selections like, yes or no, true or false. The text-based question will go in column one, and the correct answer, followed by the feedback, will go in column two. Do not use this alternative for questions containing audio clips, tables or images.
2. Vertical Tabset with Flip Boxes: Work your way through the questions on each tab and then click on you answer choice to see if you’re correct.
   • Can be used with small to large amounts of content. Each tab title will be 'Question 1,' 'Question 2,' and so on. Question and answer content should utilize the grid system to maximize layout. Keep in mind, smaller view ports will have lesson horizontal space.
   • Text-based or image answers should appear on the front of the flip box, with a check mark or x (to visually indicate correct vs. incorrect answers) icon, and feedback on the back.

There can only be ONE matching interactive per lesson page.
This interactive should be used with small to medium amounts of content. Students should not have to scroll up and down the interactive to utilize it. This not only makes the interactive frustrating to use, it also ends up taking up too much vertical space.

Anymore content than this and the following alternatives should be considered:

1. Flip Box or Interactive table with a Word or Image Bank: Take a look at the word/image bank below and see if you can match it to its [insert interactive objective]. When you think you’ve got it, click on the [insert lesson object] to check your answer.
   • Best if used with text-based content or images only.
2. Flashcards with a Word Bank: Take a look at the word/image bank below and see if you can match it to its [insert interactive objective]. When you think you’ve got it, click on card to check your answer.
   • Best if for small to large amounts of content containing images or text. An audio path version of the flashcards is available if audio is required.
3. Multiple Choice Interactive: *instructions shouldn’t really change from the matching interactive to this one.
   • Best for all types of content. One side of the match should be the question and 2-3 options for the answer selection, one of them being the correct answer.
     NOTE: Feedback will be needed for this change. In this instance, it is appropriate to write "correct" or "incorrect" followed by the correct answer and its matching counterpart so students can see the matching pair together.

There can only be one set of flashcards used per lesson page. Additionally, images will be small to medium sized, and text should be no more than one paragraph. If detailed images are requested, too much text and/or more than one request on a page, the following are suitable alternatives to the flashcard interactive.

1. Interactive Table: Review the [Insert text description from front of card] in column 1 and then click on each to reveal the [Insert text description from back of card].
   • Best alternative for text-based content only.
2. Accordion Tabset: Review the [Insert text description from front of card] on each tab and then click it to reveal the [Insert text description from back of card].
   • Works for small-medium amounts of content.
   • Revealed content can contain images and/or tables.
3. Slideshow with Answer Reveal Button: Review the [Insert text description from front of card] on each slide and then click the button to reveal the [Insert text description from back of card].
   • Works for small-medium amounts of content.
   • Text, images and tables can be used in either the slide or reveal button.
   • Larger, more detailed, images can utilize the light-box interactive on the slide, but not inside the reveal button.
4. Flip Box: Review the [Insert text description from front of card] on each card and then click on the card to reveal the [Insert text description from back of card].
   • Works for small-medium amounts of content.
   • Text, images and tables can be used on either side of the card.

There aren’t many instances when this interactive would need to be replaced, other than overuse. If that happens, here are some appropriate alternatives.

1. Interactive Table: Review/Translate the questions below and then click on the question to compare your answer.
   • Best with items that have a direct answer, not opinions, that are text-based.
2. Accordion Tabset: Review/Translate the questions below and then click on the question to compare your answer.
   • Best with items that have a direct answer (not opinions) that are text-based.
3. Slideshow with Text Entry field and an Answer Reveal Button: Answer/Translate the questions below, in the provided text area, and then click the ‘Answer’ button to compare your answer.
   • Best for any length of text-based answer content. The question portion can contain text, images, audio clips or charts.
