Build Icon-Based Accordion Layouts Without Coding
Build Icon-Based Accordion Layouts Without Coding
Rise gives you accordion blocks with limited styling and no icons to anchor each section. Visual cues help learners scan and choose, but building a custom icon accordion in Storyline means layers, states, and triggers for every panel.
The Icon Accordion generator lets you set each icon, heading, and hidden content visually, then export a single HTML file and embed in Articulate Rise, Storyline, Captivate, Canvas, Moodle, or any LMS that accepts HTML.
Use it for FAQs, grouped reference content, and any module where learners pick what to expand, letting learners control exactly how much they see and when they see it.
How To Use the Generators
Each tool in the eLearningDesign.org ecosystem follows a streamlined, three-step workflow designed to keep you focused on instructional strategy while we handle the technical execution.
Input Your Content: Open the Content tab to add your specific learning prompts, interactive options, and coaching feedback. This is where you build the logic and instructional heart of your activity.
Customize Your Design: Switch to the Design tab to align the tool with your course aesthetic. You can manually adjust colors, typography, and layout structures to ensure a seamless visual fit.
Generate and Embed: Go to the Generate tab to finalize your tool. Click "Copy Embed Code" for your authoring tool's HTML block, or "Download as HTML" for local hosting and offline use.
Common Use Cases
FAQs: Group common questions behind clear icons so learners scan, find their question, and expand only what they need.
Reference Content: Collapse dense documentation into labeled sections learners open on demand instead of scrolling endlessly.
Feature Breakdowns: Use an icon per category so learners visually navigate to the topic they care about and expand it for detail.
Technical Specifications
