How do I answer and submit a question on my mobile device?

There are a number of different types of questions. See how to answer and submit a written answer question on your mobile device.

I am having difficulty when scrolling around learning items on my iPhone – I can’t see the bottom section that has the links. What can I do about it?

Generally, the digital learning items work very well on Android devices. You can see the menu, and if you scroll down, you can see the link to the next topic. However, with Apple mobile devices (iPhone and iPad), it may be more difficult to see and click on the next topic links at the bottom of the screen.

When you launch one of the digital learning items (micros, activities, resources and short courses) on your iphone, the item is displayed inside an iframe. This generates 2 scrollbars – an inner scrollbar for the content, and an outer scrollbar for the eCampus system (see the image below).

If you scroll down, but you can’t see the link at the bottom, this is likely because the outer scrollbar hasn’t reached the bottom of the interface.

On an iPhone, scrolling in the middle of the screen shows an inner iframe and the inner scrollbar. When the inner scrollbar reaches the bottom, you can get stuck. You need to access the outer scrollbar to be able to reach the bottom. You have to move your fingers right to the edge of the screen to scroll to the outer scrollbar.

If you are still having trouble, follow the instructions in the following video for a way you can swipe up on the screen to activate the outer scrollbar.
