Slider: Drag a handle to select a value or range
Learning on a curve—because nuance matters more than binary choices.
What It Is
A Slider interaction allows learners to drag a handle along a scale to select a value or range—be it a number, level, likelihood, or preference. Visually intuitive and tactile, sliders are ideal for gauging opinions, estimating quantities, or simulating variable inputs. They introduce subtlety into learning interactions and are especially powerful for topics that aren’t just right or wrong.
When to Use It
- Rating risk levels or likelihood in compliance or safety training
- Estimating ranges in budgeting, forecasting, or scientific measurement
- Gauging learner confidence or emotional response
- Prioritizing features, needs, or trade-offs in decision-making modules
- Practicing with real-world dials, sliders, or control panels
Why It Works
- Encourages granular thinking rather than binary responses
- Simulates realistic input tools for transfer to real-world tasks
- Boosts interactivity through smooth, tactile control
- Captures scaled data for rich learner analytics
- Enhances engagement by giving learners more control and personalization
Impact Insight
Imagine your teams adjusting customer priorities, safety thresholds, or budget forecasts with greater accuracy—because your training helped them think in ranges, not absolutes.
Examples in Action
- Sales: Adjust a customer’s budget range to recommend the right product tier
- Healthcare: Slide to estimate pain levels or dosage requirements
- Manufacturing: Set temperature or pressure levels in a system simulation
- Marketing: Indicate likelihood of campaign success across different channels
Customization Options
- Single or dual-handle sliders for fixed or ranged inputs
- Linear or custom scale intervals (e.g., 0–10, low to high, poor to excellent)
- Numeric or label-based values with visual indicators
- Real-time feedback or conditional logic based on selection
- Fully brandable look and feel to match course design
