With the Image Matching Activity, learners scroll through images until they find the
one that is associated with the given image.

This is an image to image matching activity. See an online example.

Things to know

Activity title:

Up to 35 characters look best (50 max)

Activity instruction:

Up to 50 characters look best (500 max)

Number of activity cards:

Up to 4 cards look best (12 max).

A vertical scrollbar appears at the left after 4 cards.

Activity image best practice:

Square 1:1 Aspect Ratio images work best.

Learners can roll over the element and click the magnifying glass icon to enlarge the image.

A 1:1 ratio means that an image’s width and height are equal, creating a square. (Example: a 1080 x 1080 pixel image)

There are several free image editors available to adjust the image aspect ratio.

To maintain image quality, crop the image dimensions using any image editor (ex. Paint/Paintbrush).

If an image is re-sized but not cropped to match pixel dimensions, the image may be stretched or squeezed to fit which can degrade the image quality.

Tip

  1. Learners can click the magnifying glass icon to enlarge the image.

  2. Images with little or no text work best.
