Thanks for asking! Infiniscope.org has a tool called Tour It, which is a free browser-based platform empowering you to create immersive virtual field trips for learners of all ages. If you have an Infiniscope account, you already have access to Tour It!

<aside> ❗ Before adding a tour, you need to have a tour ready to go. To get you started, complete these steps in the Product Wiki: Getting Into Tour It, Starting a New Tour, and Sharing Your Tour

First, you must get set up with Simple Author by making an account and starting a lesson.
<aside> 👉 To get set up, complete the steps in these three pages in the Product Wiki: Sign up for an Infiniscope Account, Starting a New Lesson, and Adding a Screen
</aside>
Once you are in your account, navigate through your lesson to the screen where you want to add your tour. You will be in Screen Panel View.
A gray box will appear. This is where the tour will be in the screen layout.
Click and drag the iframe to where you want it. You can also click and drag the borders to make it bigger. It’s recommended to be at least half the screen to make your tour easy to see.
Make sure your iframe is selected (it will have a bright green dashed border). Then in the Right Panel you’ll see a Source. Put in your tour’s shared link.
<aside> 👉 How do you get that shared link? Visit Sharing Your Tour

Your tour is now in your lesson! It doesn’t look like it in the Simple Author, but when you preview your lesson (Previewing a Lesson), it’ll be there!
