hyperlinks on individual words
  View type:
Does Academy have the functionality where we can hyperlink words to a glossary of terms and then go back to the same spot in the training? Or show the meaning at the bottom of the training screen (or something) if we click on a selected word? If you don't know would you be able to investigate?
I know I can do a hyperlink to another document but can we go to specific words in that document or just do a box that appear when you hover over a word?
 
Hi RmC
Academy ??? can't comment on htat but might be able to for Courselab ;)

OK 'hyperlink' to a glossary should be easy.
Simplest way would be to have a pop up which is a scolling text box linked by an action to the text. It might need to be at the block level rather than at the individual word item though.
An easy solution would be to change the master slide and add a further button (like the help button) that open the glossary. This means there is only the one source to edit and you don't need to add a lot of extra items for each page.
Adding it at the word level within a block of text would require some code modifications which are always a little uncertain as the calls used might change name in a later version breaking the function. I always try to propose solutions that use the existing and documented functions as they are most likely to continue working.
Another option would be to add a hotspot over the word and use an on mouse over action as the trigger. This means more work in defining the hotspot, assigning the actions and making a pop up but gives you more page level control.

Any of these work in the concept you have??

 
 
Yes courselab :) !!

I think the idea of the help button which opens the glassary is the one I'll go for.
Thanks for your help
