Fixed slides
Every slide has a set size. Put objects exactly where you want them, with layers, states and a timeline. On a phone the whole slide scales down to fit.

Fixed slides and scrolling pages
Two ways to lay out a slide. Use both in one course.
Some content wants a fixed stage: a drag-and-drop, a slider, a timed reveal. Some wants to read like a web page on any screen. In Xogogy each slide picks its own kind, and the course plays and tracks as one.
Scrolling pages
Headings, text, images, media, widgets and questions stack from top to bottom. The blocks reflow to fit a phone, a tablet or a wide screen.
One course, one package
Put the two kinds in any order. Publish once to SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI or cmi5 and the learner gets one course, one score and one resume point.
- New course asks you to choose Fixed slides or Scrolling page to start. You can add the other kind later.
- On a scrolling page, pick an item that needs free placement, such as a slider or a shape, and Xogogy offers to add a fixed slide after the page for it.
- On a fixed slide, switch that slide to block layout. The other fixed slides stay as they are.
- Rise courses import as scrolling pages. Storyline courses import as fixed slides.
