ThingLink
ThingLink is a online service that allows you to add hotspots to your visual content that link to text, audio, video, or other web pages. This makes it possible to create things like virtual tours, interactive presentations, and even choose-your-own-adventure games.
D-E has a trial of the ThingLink School License available to teachers and students from Jan 2024 through June 2024. (Continuation of service after that is depends on the amount of use by teachers during the trial.)
