Language
When creating items, it should be understood that content will need to be tailored to fit a tablet interface.
The instructional language should be adapted to make it clear to the candidate exactly what action they are required to take. For example, if you change the instructional text from 'click' to 'tap' on your item, it will then be consistent with a tablet device.
You may wish to develop a standard instructional language and stay consistent with this. For example, choose ‘tap’ or ‘touch the screen’ etc and remain consistent with this wording.
