Tab Reveal

Split dense content into scaffolded tabs learners open one at a time.

Best for: reference, comparisons, dense content.

Break Dense Content Into Clean Tabs

When a topic has five parts, most courses stack all five down the page. The learner scrolls, the page never seems to end, and the content at the bottom gets read by nobody.

Tab Reveal splits it into parts learners choose. You add each tab and its content, then export a single HTML file you embed in Articulate Rise, Storyline, Captivate, Canvas, Moodle, or any LMS that accepts HTML.

Use it for role differences, regional variations, and layered reference material, where learners only need one section at a time but need it findable.

WHY IT WORKS

Tab Reveal splits dense content into tabs learners open one at a time.

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