Image Timeline

Show a sequence as images learners move through in order.

Best for: history, progress, visual sequences.

Build Image-Led Timelines for Any Course

Change over time is hard to feel from a list of dates. The learner reads that something happened in 2019 and has no picture of what was different before or after.

Image Timeline carries the sequence visually. You add each image and its moment, then export a single HTML file you embed in Articulate Rise, Storyline, Captivate, Canvas, Moodle, or any LMS that accepts HTML.

Use it for product evolution, site development, and case progression, where seeing the change does the teaching that a caption cannot.

WHY IT WORKS

Image Timeline turns a sequence into pictures learners move through in order.

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