Turn Any Image Into a Drag-and-Drop Puzzle for Adult Learning
Turn Any Image Into a Drag-and-Drop Puzzle for Adult Learning
Labeled diagrams are passive. Learners scan them for two seconds and move on. Building a drag-and-drop image activity in Storyline means custom states, triggers, and drop targets for every single piece — hours of development for one interaction.
The Puzzle Palette lets you upload any image, set the puzzle configuration, and generate a drag-and-drop activity in minutes.
Export a single HTML file and embed it in Articulate Rise, Storyline, Captivate, Canvas, Moodle, or any LMS that accepts HTML.
Use it for anatomy diagrams, equipment assembly, product layouts, and any visual where spatial memory matters more than passive viewing.
