Almost every course I develop these days includes some documentation component. I'm having difficulty providing my learners with versions of forms that are small enough to be accessible on a computer screen but large enough for individuals (especially those of us passed 40) to read the print. Any creative suggestions? The worse problems come with forms that I have learners complete within a Storyline interaction. Thanks everyone. mkw
I provide them as images so that I can use the zoom feature, Unfortunately, the zoom feature. doesn't increase the size enough. It takes a 8.5" x 11" form and increases the magnification from @ 25% to about 50%. It would be great if I could somehow scroll a form.
I don't usually use text entry fields because I don't want to deal with the hassle of spelling errors. I use drag and drop onto web objects.
Right now, I stuck in a pattern--instructions/questions on the left; form on the right--that is not working very well. We are a regulated industry and documentation is critical to what we do and is a central to almost all of our training programs. Maybe I need to break the forms down into sections. But how do I show the whole form so that it is readable? Thanks you for help. mkw

Mary Kay,
Are you providing your learners with these items as PDFs, or as images within the course?
If they're images, you could add the zoom option to the images. This would allow the learner to increase the size a bit.
As for the forms they are filling out...are these web objects, or text entry fields in Storyline?

Mary Kay,
What if you output your form as an image and then dropped it into a scroll panel? This way you could control the size.
