Creating a 'hover' effect in Presenter 13

Dec 16, 2014

Hi,

I wonder if there is a way to create a hover effect in Presenter 13? I know there is in Storyline, but unfortunately we only have Studio 13!

I have a rapid e-learning course which has some extra information (like a comment box in Excel) at the end of each bullet point and I wondered if there's a way to create these boxes to expand on mouse hover? My client has created this in PPT, but I know they won't export to the player as they are 'mouse over' options.

The only other option I can think of is to use an Engage interaction, but I'd rather not do this in this instance.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Lindsey

Hi Lindsey,

It actually is possible to create a hover-like effect in Articulate Presenter using multiple slides and hyperlinks. Check out this article where my co-worker Nicole Legault explains how. The example she made is also available as a free download.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Alison, I have learnt something today

Hi Lindsey, does your course really "need" those hover effects? I know from experience that I'm always working on them in Storyline and find it rather refreshing when working in Studio that I don't need to worry about such details as they often are mainly 'window dressing'. Often the learners don't even miss it.

My question is: do you really need those hovers from an instructional design point of view or is it to make your course 'look better'?
