Here are some examples of how some interactive elements can be used to engage and challenge your students:

• Drag and Drop: one of the most popular elements that train students' visual memory. This element can be used to test the knowledge of a subject by asking students to match the correct answer to a given question. For example, you could create a drag-and-drop exercise that asks students to match the name of a country with its capital city or even unscramble words, sentences, and even texts.
• Matching: Matching games can be a fun way to reinforce vocabulary or concepts. You could create a matching game that asks students to match images with their corresponding descriptions or definitions. For instance, kids would love to match images with related colors or types of clothing. There are a lot of variants to use the matching elements, and with the Pro version, you add pictures straight to the matching piece.
• Fill-in-the-Blank: Widely used element during tests, quizzes, and different types of revision. Students are asked to fill in the missing words in a sentence or paragraph. For example, you could create a fill-in-the-blank exercise that asks students to complete a sentence with the correct verb tense, noun form or preposition, etc.
• Hotspot: Use the element in true\false tasks, explore different parts of the subject, and more. For example, you could create a hotspot exercise that asks students to identify other parts of a plant or animal. It is most popular in word search games, and Edform has made it easy to create.

• Audio and Video responses: These elements can be used to create engaging multimedia exercises that help students learn by actually participating. One of the best examples to use is individual projects. To illustrate, you could create a video exercise that asks students to answer questions about a historical event or scientific process, or even you can ask students to prepare the info about their favorite topic.
• Math Response: Yes! You even can do Math, Science, and Physics with Edform elements. Math responses can be used to create interactive math exercises that allow students to enter mathematical expressions or formulas.
