Moodle, one of the most popular learning management systems, onboards its users to its newest feature using a three-step feature tour. Though there is no progress bar or progress indicator in sight, the conciseness of the sequence doesn’t lead users to expect one. There is also a display modal that takes place on top of the UI to point to a motion control function.

Why it’s great:

✅ Short and concise - The tour is not only short with three steps but it is also concise with short and to-the-point copy.

✅ Background dimming - Though background dimming is a common practice, it is also an underrated one since the lack of it can make the actual UI and the overlay elements look like a mess.

✅ Good use of contextual overlay modal - Contextual overlay modals aren’t very popular, but when it is an app that requires a certain motion on a touch screen, the use of an overlay modal is ideal.
