How to create an immersive experience in 15 minutes: ThingLink workshop

Thinglink is perhaps one of the easiest tools for building interactive learning experiences – within
minutes you can start embedding interactive hotspots into a wide range of media, from
conventional images and videos to 360 images and 3D scans. These hotspots are an engaging way
for students to gain agency over their learning - which has been proved to improve retention - and
can contain images, videos, audio description and tools like quizzes and interactive timelines. You
can also create choose-your-own-adventure style scenarios which can take the learning on a journey
through a concept in surprising ways. It’s also an easy way to bring a static leaflet or infographic to
life, and has been used to great effect for library tours, virtual field trips and more. It also embeds
directly into Moodle and can be viewed on a mobile telephone, tablet, PC or VR headset. Led by ILC
