ThingLink for STEM content

Turn images and videos into interactive media with text labels and description tags. For more complex graphs, charts, and other data visualizations that contain a variety of text or that depict a wealth of information, consider utilizing an ASC-supported tool like ThingLink. With ThingLink, you can upload an image of your visualization and add clickable, accessible tags that contain textual information (see example below). These text labels and descriptions can then be chunked into smaller segments and directly associated and linked to key points within the image, functioning as a sort of targeted image caption. Likewise, for videos that present similar types of visual depictions, these same types of clickable tags can be added atop the video and set to appear at specified moments within the timeline, serving as an additional support and supplementing the existing video captions that may not otherwise capture all the details of the visualizations presented. For more about ThingLink, see the ASC ODE web resource ThingLink: An Interactive Tool for Instructors and Students.
