Priority Stack

Have learners rank competing items into a single ordered list.

Best for: prioritization, triage, decision making.

Build Priority Ranking Activities Without Coding

A checklist lets learners agree that everything matters. Ranking does not. The moment two items cannot both be first, the learner has to reveal what they actually believe.

Priority Stack gives them a set of competing items and one ordered list to put them in. You set the items and the rationale, then export a single HTML file you embed in Articulate Rise, Storyline, Captivate, Canvas, Moodle, or any LMS that accepts HTML.

Use it for triage training, project prioritization, and safety response, where the job is not knowing what matters but knowing what comes first.

WHY IT WORKS

Priority Stack makes learners rank competing items into one ordered list.

Across 57 experiments, comparing cases side by side led to more learning than studying cases one at a time. Alfieri, Nokes-Malach and Schunn (2013).
