What is Hotspot Toolkit?

Activities for a switched-on generation

An easy-to-use program that allows educators and trainers to create fun, engaging images and 3D environments with "hot-spots" that learners can click to reveal answers or information. At the end of the activity, learners can print out a report showing what they've discovered, to take away and reflect on.

Exciting, visual, interactive

With Hotspot Toolkit, anyone can create exciting visual activities. Start with your own image—a map, diagram or photo—or build a rich 3D environment. Add hotspots: clickable, interactive areas that “pop up” whatever message you specify. Then set learners free to explore your creations…

Do-it-yourself value, professional quality

Because you create the interactions yourself, Hotspot Toolkit offers great value for money over traditional e-learning. With one package, you can create as many interactions as you want—start sharing activities in just a few minutes. Interactions so professional-looking, that everyone will want to use them!

Ideal for real-life risk assessments

Hotspot Toolkit is ideal for creating tailored health and safety interactions—recreate a work environment with the easy-to-use building blocks, and highlight the hazards for learners to find. Or, to take a completely different example, you could place hotspots over photographs of everyday objects to create an exciting foreign-language vocabulary exercise.

Relevant—use your photos and diagrams

Import your own photographs, and build interactions around them. Allow students to interact with photos of real workplaces; bring in screenshots and create interactive software training; create your own diagrams with labels that learners can reveal. The content isn’t fixed: you fit it to your teaching context.
