lightbulb_outline This question type can be used in a digital test only. For written assignments, please check out the image question type article.
With the hotspot match question, participants are required to drag and drop multiple markers in the correct areas of an image. The areas can be created by using one of the following figure types: rectangle, circle or polygon.
As well as the hotspot match question, you can also use the hotspot question. The hotspot question is similar to the hotspot match question. The difference is that with a hotspot question the markers are numbered instead of named, which means they can be placed in the correct area(s) in any order, whereas with a hotspot match question the markers are named and each has their own correct area in the image.

Bonus
This marks the question as a bonus question, which means the number of points awarded with this question will be counted until the maximum amount of points achievable for this assignment is reached. The points of the bonus question are not included in the maximum amount of points that can be achieved for the assignment If the student answers the question incorrectly, this will not be detracted from the number of points and the mark.
-
Skippable
You will first need to assign which students are exempted from answering this question within the settings of your course. You can then enable which questions can be skipped by these students. In a digital test the student will be informed they can skip the question. For written assignments they will see a scissor icon next to the question, so students will need to be informed they can skip these questions. The number of points for this question will not be counted in their result. It is not possible to change this setting after the test has been taken.
-
Partial scoring
Students will receive points when their answer is partly correct. For example, if the total number of points they can receive for a question is 2 and their answer is 50% correct, they will still receive 1 point. Without this option, they can only receive 0 or the maximum number of points.

Use automatic scoring
When you use automatic scoring for grading, you will need to select the correct answer options. The platform will automatically award the number of points set in the grading scheme for the question, either the full or partial points, depending on the setting.

Both with the option enabled and disabled, the platform will automatically review the question, the difference is being able to differentiate between the number of points awarded for each answer.

In the grading settings it is possible to set the maximum amount of points achievable with the question, separate from the points per criteria When this number deviates from the maximum amount achievable by adding up the criteria points, this option will cap the maximum amount of points to this manually set number.
