    Tags can be, e.g.:

    • text and media
    • content from websites
    • tasks
    • a tour, meaning tags from one tag to another.

    Materials made with ThingLink can be read by Microsoft’s immersive reader in more than 80 languages. At HAMK, the service can be used by both staff and students.
