ThingLink Guides
DES colleagues have been given access to ThingLink to help support academic and teaching staff in the creation of interactive learning and teaching content. This allows them to turn digital assets into interactive materials by adding icons or tags to embed video, text, audio, infographics and more. Users will be able to hover over a tag or icon to interact with additional content.
DES staff have a University of Leeds ThingLink account. You can login via the ThingLink Azure login page using your University credentials. You do not need to create an account to interact with ThingLink content, but will need one to create your own ThingLink content.
Get Started: Create a ThingLink account
Follow the steps outlined to create a University of Leeds ThingLink account so you can get started with creating your own interactive content.

Learn how to create Thinglink content. You can use images, your own pictures, videos, or 360-degree interactive images and by adding tags, you can allow students to interact with the media, to draw more detail from it.
