How to Fix Small or Hard-to-Tap Buttons in Rise 360

Overview

A button that's easy to click with a precise mouse pointer can be genuinely hard to tap accurately with a finger, or for someone with a tremor or limited fine motor control. Rise courses are commonly viewed on phones and tablets, which makes this a real, everyday issue, not a rare edge case. This is especially common with small icon-only navigation controls sitting close together.

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Open the Button block or interactive element that looks small or crowded.

2. 2

   Check its size, a comfortable minimum tap target is roughly 24 by 24 pixels, larger is better for primary actions like Continue.

3. 3

   Increase the button's size if it's genuinely too small.

4. 4

   If the size is fine but it sits too close to a neighboring control, add spacing between them instead.

5. 5

   Preview the lesson on an actual phone if you can, not just at desktop width, spacing problems are far more obvious on a touchscreen.

Tips

• Primary actions the learner uses constantly, Continue, Submit, Next, deserve extra size and breathing room since they get tapped the most.
• Rise's default block spacing is usually generous, this issue mainly shows up with custom interactive blocks or dense multiple-choice layouts.
• Test on mobile early, not just at the end, since Rise courses are frequently completed on a phone.

Common mistakes

• Custom interactive blocks sized for visual style rather than comfortable tapping.
• Several answer choices or navigation controls placed edge to edge with no gap between them.
• Only testing on a desktop browser at full width, never on an actual phone screen.

Why it matters

Learners with limited mobility, or anyone on a phone or tablet, can struggle to tap a small target accurately.
