Entering hints into a screen capture test mode.

Hi Erin,

Since the screen recordings become a hot spot quiz, there isn't a way to add an additional click to it. You could enable the try again feedback when inserting the screen recording as described here.  That would show the feedback on a layer which you could customize, and presumably you could set up that "hint" button - as that'll be registered as wrong when the user clicks on it, and see the try again prompt. 

Thanks Ashley.  Hmm, not sure what you mean.  If I keep the "button" for a hint, and instruct it to show the Try Again layer (having customized it with the proper hint), won't that still mark the button click as wrong?

Hi Erin,

If you don't add any triggers to it - but just instruct users to click there for a hint, yes, it'll still be considered "wrong" but they'll see your "hint" feedback you customize on the try again layer and then they can attempt the item again for real. They'll see the same "hint" if they answer wrong again. You could also look at showing the hint if the user hovers their mouse over the button - again on a layer, and set it to hide the layer once the mouse is no longer over the button. It's not perfect - especially if you need or your LMS does track attempts at a question, but I wouldn't expect that to be the case. 

Thanks for the ideas!  I changed the icon to a hand that raises when you hover over it, and assigned a trigger to show the hint when the hand is raised. 

I've included the instruction before the test to hover over the icon if they want to "raise their hand and ask a question."  This works really well :)

Thanks again!

Awesome Erin - thanks for the update and I'm glad you were able to get it working.
