Placement of captions and other screen instructions

Question

hello all,

I was having a discussion with some coworkers regarding best practices for elearning. Where should prompts such as click on this hyperlink be placed. Should they all be placed at the same x coordinate on every slide. Or should be placed next to the item you are asking to the click?

What is the standard best practice?

We try to put the prompts as near as possible to the place to click, without covering up anything else. See Clark & Meyer's contiguity principle in E-Learning and the Science of Instruction: Proven Guidelines for Consumers and Designers of Multimedia Learning.
