- Static slidesStatic slides are used to transmit information. It is recommended to use a maximum of 20 slides per half hour. It is possible to have text 'fly in'. In this way, students are not overwhelmed with information all at once, but you can make it appear step by step.
- Images
An image can be very effective in your lesson. It can speak to the imagination, which increases the attention span. Which images you use depends very much on the learning objective. Two tips we can give: use as many rights-free images as possible and choose relevant images.
- Videos
If you use a video from YouTube or Vimeo, it's a good idea to embed it in LessonUp. This way you can enter a start or stop time, or even make it interactive. This allows you to add questions to the video.
- Interactive elements
As with offline learning materials, such as textbooks, you need enough exercises to help students retain the material. In LessonUp, there are several interactive parts you can use for these exercises: quiz, mindmap, open question and drag & drop question. For all these parts, students can participate with their own device.
