Hotspot: Click the correct part of an image
Click with purpose—because sometimes the where is just as important as the what.
What It Is
A Hotspot interaction asks learners to click on the correct area of an image to answer a question or demonstrate understanding. Whether identifying a physical location, interface element, or visual clue, this interaction brings learning to life through visual exploration. It’s ideal for spatial tasks, real-world recognition, and situational judgment.
When to Use It
- Identifying parts of equipment or machinery in technical training
- Spotting compliance risks in a workplace photo
- Navigating software interfaces or dashboards
- Recognizing signs or symptoms in medical images
- Choosing proper placement in layout or design tasks
Why It Works
- Builds visual literacy and spatial awareness
- Mimics real-world tasks and interfaces for better transfer
- Encourages observation and attention to detail
- Offers a more immersive, game-like experience
- Reduces cognitive load by showing, not just telling
Impact Insight
Imagine your employees instantly recognizing safety hazards on the floor—because your training taught them exactly where to look.
