Image Fan

Fan a set of images learners flip through one card at a time.

Best for: galleries, examples, comparisons.

Build Fanned Image Galleries Without Code

Every Rise course shows images the same way. A gallery block, a carousel, a stack. After the third module the layout itself stops registering as information.

Image Fan gives the same content a shape learners notice. You add the images and captions, then export a single HTML file you embed in Articulate Rise, Storyline, Captivate, Canvas, Moodle, or any LMS that accepts HTML.

Use it for example galleries, product ranges, and before-and-after sets, where the goal is getting a second look at material that would otherwise be scrolled past.

WHY IT WORKS

Image Fan lets learners study a set of images one card at a time.

Across 56 studies, breaking instruction into segments improved retention and transfer and reduced cognitive load. Rey et al. (2019).
