INTERACTIVE CONTENT SOFTWARE

How Genially interactions work

It’s easy to make any type of content interactive in a couple of clicks. No need to know HTML or install any software. You’ll get the hang of it in minutes!

Add interactions to any object on the canvas. A button, image, block of text, group of elements, or even an invisible area of the screen.

What do you want to happen when the user clicks, taps, hovers, or swipes on the screen? 

Video, pop ups, click-to-reveal, zoom, drag-and-drop, confetti… combine multiple interactions and animations in any order.

In one click it’s interactive! See how your content will appear in Preview. Watch your content get more engagement, more clicks, and longer dwell times.

Interactive content is more engaging than other forms of communication because it turns a passive audience into active participants. Unlike static documents, marketing, and training materials, interactive communication is a two-way conversation. Readers, learners, and customers feel more emotional connection when they are actively interacting with the content. Interactive elements like quizzes, clickable graphics, and interactive media help you deliver a better user experience. Immediate responses and feedback give users a sense of control, personal choice, and help generate further interest in the topic.

Interactive learning is an instructional approach that encourages learners and students to actively participate in activities, tasks, and problem-solving rather than absorbing information passively. This method promotes understanding, retention, and critical thinking skills as the learning experience is more personalized and engaging.

Genially’s easy to use authoring tool allows Instructional Designers, curriculum developers, and other eLearning professionals to create engaging interactive learning modules without any coding. Learners can view and interact with the content online - no LMS or other software required. Our pre-built templates and collaborative design tools help team members save time and create fun interactive experiences that bring any subject matter to life.
