Hotspot (Book Page object)

Scope

• Book Page content object > Hotspot object

Purpose

Example of a Hotspot question, as it appears within a Quiz. In this example, the 4th icon from the right has been selected.

This object is used to insert an answer block for a 'hotspot' style question into a Book Page content object. Note that this object does not contain any explanation of the task (the question) - this needs to be entered separately, typically via a Text object on the same page.

With a Hotspot type question, the user is presented with an image and has to click within a designated area of that image (typically, to identify a particular item within the image).

Use

When you insert a Hotspot Book Page object, two rectangles are added to the Book Page. The larger of these is for the image (which is selected in the Image property), and the smaller of these is used to identify the area within this image that the user will be required to click in. Obviously, you will find it much easier to select the image and then drag the boundaries of the hotspot on top of this.
