Build Image-Based Hotspot Quiz Activities Without Coding

Rise has no hotspot quiz. Storyline hotspots require freeform triggers, states, and a results slide for every target area. Changing the image means rebuilding all the coordinates.

The Hotspot Quiz builds image-based questions where learners click the correct area to answer, then exports a single HTML file you embed in Articulate Rise, Storyline, Captivate, Canvas, Moodle, or any LMS that accepts HTML.

Use it for anatomy, equipment identification, spatial reasoning, and any module where the answer lives on an image, not in a text option.

How To Use the Generators


Each tool in the eLearningDesign.org ecosystem follows a streamlined, three-step workflow designed to keep you focused on instructional strategy while we handle the technical execution.

  1. Input Your Content: Open the Content tab to add your specific learning prompts, interactive options, and coaching feedback. This is where you build the logic and instructional heart of your activity.
