In this video, learn what actions are and how they can be used in a Lectora title to make your titles more interactive, such as programming buttons to perform an action.
- [Instructor] When it comes to making…your titles interactive,…actions should be considered the building blocks.…Let's get a good understanding of actions…before we start adding them to titles…and using our imagination to create the interactions,…games, and custom features we want.…Like the name implies,…an action in Lectora Online is something we add to an object…that makes something happen.…For example, we might use actions…to take those viewing our title to a glossary of terms…when they click a button or branch off to a different page…depending on how they answer a question.…
We could use actions to create games…that track points and keep score,…or even take viewers to a website or launch a document.…Actions can be used to display pop-up information…when viewers roll their mouse over certain areas on the page…or even hide things like the next button…until a viewer or student has clicked…all the options on a page.…Now, actions can be grouped together in a title…to help with organization.…They can be conditional so they only fire…
