Having students engage physically with content can help keep them engaged and interested in your course materials. Below, you’ll find examples of interactives we have built in our courses. We aim to incorporate interactivity in our courses, so be thinking about how we could do that in the course you are building!
What can we build? Check out the examples below to see what we can develop.
