The best feedback is...

• A complete list of all correct answers at the end

SELECT ALL CORRECT ANSWERS: Why should text be integrated with images rather than placed in a legend or key at the bottom of the screen?

• Looking back and forth causes split attention

• It is more efficient for the learner

• It will always save screen real estate

• Studies have shown it's more successful

What's the best way to follow the contiguity principle if there isn't enough screen real estate to integrate all your text with images?

• Pick a different image, yours is too complex

• It's better to fill the screen with labels than make a key

• Sometimes you just have to make a key

• Use pop-up text when a cursor hovers over it
