Learn the idea
An icon is a small picture used in an interface. Different people may interpret it differently. A word or spoken label can explain its action. In a paper design, pair the icon with a useful action label rather than assuming the picture communicates everything.
Choose the stated action label that resolves the supplied icon’s ambiguity. A decorative picture does not automatically tell a learner what will happen.
Use this supplied case: Triangle icon should play the spoken story. Which label describes the required action? Use the details in this example. An adult may read the words aloud. Point, draw or say your answer.
- Follow the worked example one step at a time. Say or draw what happens.
- Choose the stated action label that resolves the supplied icon’s ambiguity.
- Say which detail makes the example answer fit. Pick another answer and say why it does not fit.
