Dynamic Image Explorations add visual interest and enhance learning by using image explorations.
These media elements consist of images with "hotspots" on which students click to get more detailed information about a specific aspect of the image.
They are useful in a variety of course types: data intensive (statistics, economics); culturally sensitive (nursing); visually intensive (art appreciation, geography); and visually complex (anatomy and physiology, biology).
