7. Methodological and Technical advice on what to DO

In this chapter we will provide some methodological and technical tips for working with the Genially app.

METHODOLOGICAL TIPS

1. Interactivity

Include interactive case studies, simulations, or decision-making scenarios that force users to use their knowledge and critical thinking skills. The audience is kept interested and learning is reinforced at this level of interaction.

2. Visual consistency

Incorporate subtle design elements to improve your visual consistency. Take into account employing more intricate animations, transitions, and graphic elements that meet the aesthetic standards of an upper-intermediate audience. Make sure the eye-catching design balances the intricacy of the information.

3. Storyboarding

Improve your storyboard by adding more complex structures and content components. Think about incorporating scenarios or critical thinking tasks that push users to apply their knowledge at an upper-intermediate level. Make sure the content progression is difficult but doable.

4. Audience consideration

Use language, ideas and offer rich, contextual images to help with understanding. For greater relatability, think about incorporating examples and applications from real-world situations.

TECHNICAL TIPS

1. Accessibility

Make sure that everyone can access your Genially project. Put into practice features like appropriate document structure, descriptive link text, and alt text for images. Improvements in accessibility follow best practices and serve a varied audience.

2. Advanced design

Elevate your responsive design by taking into account not just a range of screen resolutions and orientations, but also different devices. Test and fine-tune your Genially project for both portrait and landscape orientations to guarantee a consistent user experience.

3. Data security

Learn about data security and privacy features if your Genially project involves sensitive information. To protect user information, use encryption where appropriate and make sure that all applicable data protection laws are followed.

4. Feedback

To obtain user insights, incorporate feedback mechanisms into your Genially project. This can apply to interactive forms, tests, and surveys. You can iterate and enhance the user experience over time by analyzing user feedback.

5. Cross-Browser compatibility

To make sure your Genially project is compatible, test it in several web browsers. Make sure your interactive content is cross-browser compatible to maximize its reach and accessibility, as different browsers may interpret certain features differently.
