Activate your students with dynamic hotspots
LessonUp’s hotspots are digital buttons that gradually reveal key information. They help manage the cognitive load while sparking students' curiosity. By incorporating hotspots, you present content step-by-step, creating an interactive textbook experience.
Hotspots are the second most used component in LessonUp!
Hotspots can be used in very creative ways to stimulate curiosity.
Did you know that hotspots help students remember information effectively?
Foster learners’ natural curiosity
Hotspots are a great way to engage students by turning lessons into an interactive experience. As they click on hotspots, they reveal hidden information, making the learning process more exploratory and exciting. This approach encourages active participation and keeps students curious, eager to uncover what’s behind each hotspot. By breaking information into smaller chunks, hotspots prevent overload and make learning more enjoyable, memorable, and ultimately more effective.
Present information gradually
Using hotspots to reveal information step by step helps manage cognitive load. By introducing key points one at a time, educators prevent students from feeling overloaded with too much content. This approach allows learners to absorb and understand each piece before moving forward, improving comprehension. It also creates a structured learning path, enabling students to build knowledge progressively and coherently, leading to a deeper understanding of the subject.
Offer personalised revision guides
Hotspots can help create personalised revision guides that fit each student's needs. When students click on hotspots, they can find extra resources, explanations, or practice questions based on what they need to improve. This makes sure every student gets the right support, creating a more inclusive learning environment. It also lets them review important ideas at their own pace, leading to better learning outcomes. With this approach, students take control of their own revision.
