The Stylized Quote element formats a plain segment of text into an elegant blockquote that is sure to catch your learner’s attention. You also have the option of including an attribution beneath the stylized quote. 

There are two format options available using Stylized Quotes: 

Standard

Standard quotes are useful to call attention to simple quotations.

The list below explains some tips when using the Stylized Quote element:  

  • Keep the information simple  

The Stylized Quotes are quite large and stand out which is useful for highlighting key information, but if they contain too much text they can be distracting and space-consuming.    
Reducing down the amount of information to only the bear essential will be less distracting for students and will result in better retention of the knowledge.  

  • Split down large quotes and facts.  

Sometimes the quotes and facts that are used are quite long, these are generally not as helpful for students as it requires more reading and interpretation, as well as the reasons mentioned in the previous tip.   

  Reducing the quotes and facts down to only the part that you want to highlight, may be more helpful to students. The reference to the full quote or fact can then be mentioned in the attribution.  
If there are multiple parts of a long quote or fact which are helpful, try splitting them into multiple Stylized Quotes. A benefit of this is that the separate Stylized Quotes can then be moved to more appropriate sections of content.
