ThingLink Portfolio

I have created over 30 ThingLink infographics as part of my role as a Digital Resources Developer at the University of Southampton and also transitioned several legacy H5P projects to ThingLink. Between January 2023 and March 2026 they received over 90946 views.

‘Tube Maps’

Some of our first designs inspired by the London Underground ‘Tube Map’ led to many requests from across our University for similar approaches to organise information. Backgrounds drawn in Adobe Illustrator before ThingLink’s integration with Canva.

PhD Supervisor Guide

This challenging infographic condenses a lot of overlapping information into something akin to a streamed timeline. It could/should be further simplified by moving the right hand panel to a separate ThingLink. It was the first where I experimented with extending the University brand colours with tints to improve the contrast with smaller type to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

My new tinted pastel palette complemented these simpler designs, using blending modes to additively mix light towards the centre:

ThingLink enriched pop-ups provide summaries for each exhibitor and a link for further information:

University Christmas Advent Calendar

My interactive holiday calendar featured on the ThingLink blog where it was kindly described as ‘Exceptionally Creative Learning Designs and Powerful Practice from University of Southampton‘ This fun project was a great break from the ‘Tube Maps’ and features an image and a brief sound effect on each pop-up, with content and support provided collegially from both Digital Learning and the Centre for Higher Education (CHEP) in a team building exercise, at a time when many of the staff were working from home and surveys showed that people were feeling rather isolated and disconnected after the pandemic lockdowns.

Branching Scenarios

After first exploring scenarios by co-creating some Dungeons & Dragons adventures with my kids, I next used scenarios for a University presentation to showcase our adoption of ThingLink.

The ‘How to Evaluate‘ prototype (only Module 1 has example content) was created in response to an ambitious brief that called for some functions not yet supported within ThingLink. Some embedded H5P was on a hosting site that is no longer live.
