How to remove the hand cursor from the hot spot in the Test mode question slides?
Hi all,
I am relatively new to this world but enjoying eLearning thoroughly.
I am using Articulate Storyline- version 1 for a software simulation course...
At the moment I am having a problem with a small white hand that appears on the hot spot that is the correct response on certain icons on a screen cast. It is a question and has feedback slides as well if they get it wrong or correct. How can I ensure the hand mouse does not appear so the learner does not know the correct hot spot. I have tried the option on grey panel that appears when you right hands click the hot spot ..where I have already deselected the Show Mouse on Hover...but it still appears..... Any suggestions anybody. Thanks in advance
:)

Hi Nadia,
Right-click the hotspot and uncheck the "Show hand cursor on hover" option.
Hi Nadia,
You can also add some incorrect hotspots as described here. Also, here is a more general tutorial on working with hotspots.
Thanks so much for replying. I will try this now and view the links you have sent.
Once again thank you so much. :)
Happy to help Nadia and let us know if you need anything else.
Just to follow on this one related to tests, is there an editing option with regard to the end-user experience clicking hotspots in quizmaker? The current experience involves a swirling target with a pulsating wave coming off of it. It takes some getting used to and I'm a little concerned that some end users will be confused without a prompt (e.g., a tool tip)
Hi Ben,
Within Quizmaker as well as Storyline there is not an option to change the color or icon associated with what the user has clicked on in a hotspot. There isn't a way to stop it from pulsing or include additional info for the user, so perhaps you want to include directions as such.
So how do you get rid of the hand cursor from showing up in Test it Mode after a recording? The box was accidentally checked off. And I created new hot spots, thinking this would fix the issue and unchecked "Show hand cursor on hover". But still, when they hover over the answer the hand cursor shows up. Are there any real solutions that don't require me to recreate the 16 slides I worked on? Also, please don't link me some other questions with supposed solution that don't go over the issue. Thanks.
Hi Nancy,
What version of Storyline did you use to create the screen recording? I'd like to check the settings in your version to see if there's a time-saving way to fix the problem. Thanks!
Hi Alyssa,
I'm using Storyline 2, Update 12 I believe.
Hi Nancy, thanks for confirming that!
I recorded a 1-minute video of how the mouse cursor should behave in Test Mode slides--check out that video here.
Could you tell me what you did differently in your file? Thanks!
