One of my passions is playing volleyball. Volleyball referees use a number of different hand signals, the meaning of which is not obvious in every case. Just for fun I thought I would turn a bland PDF document that explains these hand signals into an interactive and fully responsive experience, exploring the fluid box functionality a bit further.
Please try out the module here. It takes only a couple of minutes to get through, whether or not you’re interested in volleyball.
I spent quite some time thinking about and drafting a fluid box design that was simple and would allow me to include the functionality I wanted. I created two master slides, one for simply presenting the content, and one for the knowledge check the user could take after going through the content.
I then added all the images and text to the respective fluid boxes. I like using the multi-state objects for creating custom feedback. The buttons originate from Fontawesome. Having such a vast array of easily scaleable images available makes the creation of custom navigation so much easier. By the way, I prefer to build my own custom navigation, mainly for aesthetic reasons.
The tricky bit was making the custom-built quiz work just the way I wanted to. Despite my initial planning I still went through a lot of trial and error, and I ended up with quite complex conditional advanced actions.
