Embedded Files
Digital Print media is a document or image that you read or view electronically. Examples can include an infographic, achievement badge, accessible PDF, or some sort of job aid. These types of resources are primarily read but are laid out according to professional graphic design standards. This ensures that what is being read is supported by graphics and organized visually for better learning retention.
Infographics to Explain Complex Ideas
An infographic is a visual image such as a chart or diagram used to represent information or data. These are incredibly useful in teaching complex processes, or visually laying out the most important ideas presented in a reading assignment.

Achievement Badges for Blackboard
Badges are just one way to gamify the learning in your course. They are surprisingly motivating for students, especially when they are set up to export them and share verified links on social media to update their network on their latest achievements.
Articulate Rise Documents for Enriched Reading Experiences
Compiling multiple digital reading resources into one Rise module is a great way to turn copious amounts of reading into something engaging and trackable. The Rise modules can even be connected to the Grade Center in Blackboard so you can easily award participation points for engaging with the reading material. Rise also provides a way to add knowledge checks so students can assess what they are learning along the way.

Job Aids with GIFs to Demonstrate Workflows
Providing written step-by-step instructions is especially necessary during any sort of on-boarding process. Tasks within complicated user interfaces are sometimes better with supportive visuals. When these visuals serve as mini-video tutorials within the written document, the learner is able to complete the task with a higher degree of accuracy and success!
Go Bananerz for Banners
When you are unable to decorate a physical classroom with motivational kitten posters, Course Banners are the next best thing. Give visual context to the main home or announcements page for your course. You can also add a banner to the top of a series of courses to visually unify content across an entire program.
