Image question

  • Updated

lightbulb_outline This question type can be used in a written assignment only.

An image question allows you to upload an image to go along with the question. A caption can be added if desired. This question type can be used when you want students to mark, draw or label something on an image. When using this question type no text box is visible to the students as the student is required to answer the question only by altering the image. The following file types can be uploaded:

  • JPEG
  • PNG (the png needs to include a background)
  • GIF

Would you like to add both text and image(s)? Please use the 'free-formatted' question type instead.

Questions can be created either in a question bank exercise or from within a course assignment. The image below demonstrates creating the questions from the question bank exercise.

Options for an image question

For additional options, click the more_horiz-icon and click Edit. Then click on the more_vert-icon. You will see the following:

  • Bonus
    This marks the question as a bonus question, which means that its points are not included in the maximum amount of points achievable for that assignment. If a student answers the question incorrectly, this will not be detracted from the number of points and the mark. However, when awarding points, it is possible to achieve more points that the maximum points achievable for the assignment.
  • Start on new page
    The question will start on a new page.
  • Image full page width
    The image is displayed with maximum width on the page.

  • 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.
Add a grading scheme to an image question

To add a grading scheme to an image question, follow the steps below.

  1. Click the Grading scheme tab at the top of the assignment or question bank exercise.
  2. Go to the question for which you want to set the grading scheme.
  3. Click the more_horiz-icon and click Edit. 
  4. Click the dropdown menu Grading type* and choose your method.
  5. Click the more_vert-icon for more grading options.

Options for grading an image question
  • Model answer
    A solution for the reviewers (and for participants when published). The model answer can be an extensive elaboration, an image, or a file.

  • Start with zero points (For the points per criterion grading type only)
    If this option is enabled the marking of this question will always start at zero points and the points will be added up when selecting the criteria. When this option is disabled, the marking will start with the maximum amount of points that can be awarded for this question and selecting the criteria will be subtracted from this maximum. This means that the criteria should be added as minus points of the total amount. The reviewer can then select the criteria if the student did not meet this with their answer, so it can be detracted from the total amount of points.
