Invisible hotspots?
Jun 10, 2013
By
K Train
I need to use the Hotspot question for identification testing. I read the information about using a multiple answer question and turning the answers into a multiple Hotspot type of environment. However, the little box is present for the user to click on. I need to be able to test the user's knowledge and have them find the Hotsposts themselves. Is there a way to have the little box be invisible or is there an other way for this to happen?
Thanks,
Kelly

Hi Kelly and welcome to the community. You can make them transparent like Jeanneatte does in this video: (at the 2:00 min mark ) http://www.articulate.com/support/kb_article.php?product=st1&id=41lf9it1ad4k
You can also right-click on it and choose Format Shape to get to that same dialog box to change the transparency.
Thanks, Mike, for posting that.
Kelly, seems to me that creating a "selected" state for each "invisible hotspot" will really help your learner understand the choice they have chosen. --Daniel
Thank you Daniel and Mike for getting back to me so quickly. Sorry, I wasn't clear with the software I am using. I am using the quizmaker in the Articulate Studio Pro. Any ideas with that program?
Thanks,
Sorry Kelly. My mistake...the hotspot question in Quizmaker allows for only one hotspot, but one approach you might try is to use a multiple-response question to simulate multiple hotspots.
Here's a post that shows that:

Mike,
I have created a multiple choice question that simultaes a hotspot situation. However, the multiple response checkboxes show. I need these boxes to be invisible so that the user doesn't know where the possible answers are. Their task will be to find the answers/hotspots. Does this make sense?
Thanks,
Yes, that totally makes sense. Depending on what your image(s) look like and what you need it to do could something along these lines possibly work? https://player.vimeo.com/video/204933856
Mike,
Thank you so much for recommending https://player.vimeo.com/video/204933856. This really helps me a lot. I think that I can manage to do a similar version of what I wanted to do and still get my point across.
I appreciate all your help,
Kelly
