Scrollable Hotspot Image

E-learning Development Portfolio

Activity Concept

Building instructional content for SaaS services often involve presentation of screen functionalities. In Rise courses hotspot images (Labelled Graphic block) work very well for that.

Unfortunately, if a page is scrollable, the hotspot image can become very long and dominate the course page. I needed a tool to present functions of a screen like I do with Labelled Graphic block, but in a version that can be scrolled.

I decided to build it in Storyline.

Development Process

Creating the interactive activity involved solving several challenges:

Scrolling layout:

The whole activity is built within a single scrolling panel.

Opening and Closing Hotspots:

Each hotspot button has two states: closed and open. Labels are in hidden state on entry and revealed when the hotspot is opened. Clicking a hotspot button changes its own state to open and displays the label by changing its state to normal. Hotspots can be closed by clicking the top-right icon, clicking the same hotspot again, or opening another hotspot.

One Hotspot at a Time:

To ensure only one hotspot stayed open, I used variables and triggers. Opening a new hotspot automatically closed all others.
