Working with Hotspot questions

The idea of the Hotspot question is to display an image on the slide and let the student choose the right spot(s) on this image. In this example, you will display an extract of the train schedule and ask the student to click the departure platform information of a specific train:

  1. Return to the takeTheTrain.cptx file and use the Filmstrip to go to slide 29.
  2. Click the Reset Master Slide button in the topmost section of the Properties inspector to reapply the Master Slide.
  3. Move the feedback messages out of the way and increase the height of the question text.

Slide 29 has been imported from the additionalQuestions.cptx file. A picture of an extract of the train schedule is visible in the middle of the slide. There is also a single rectangular Hotspot on top of the image. The students will be asked to click the image. The goal is to click inside the area defined by the hotspot.

  1. In the topmost section of the Quiz inspector, notice the Answers property.
