Exploring New Features in Assessor

Welcome to our overview of the latest enhancements to the Assessor platform. This guide will walk you through the steps to utilize the new question types, including drawing labeling hotspots, enabling educators to create interactive and engaging assessments.

Step 1

We are thrilled to introduce a new feature on Assessor, allowing educators to add advanced functionalities to their assessments.

Step 2

This enhancement enables educators to create more dynamic and interactive questions.

Step 3

A new question type has been introduced to the platform.

Step 4

The new question type is known as "drawing labeling hotspots."

Step 5

Within this question type, educators can choose from options such as label drag, label fill, and hotspot drawing, each offering unique tools for interaction.

Step 6

Label drag allows educators to provide students with the ability to label elements on a canvas or image. Educators can begin by uploading an image of choice.

Step 7

Once the image is uploaded, educators can modify its dimensions to fit their requirements.

Step 8

After resizing the image, educators will find two essential tools for creating interactive content.

Step 9

One of these tools is the labeling tool.

Step 10

Educators can select a labeling tool, potentially with adjustable handles, based on their preferences.

Step 11

Educators then input the labels that they wish students to use or drag onto the image.

Step 12

For example, educators might use "cap" as a label and can adjust its placement. They can preview the student’s perspective.

Step 13

Educators can test the setup to ensure functionality before proceeding to the next question type.

Step 14

Next is the label fill option.

Step 15

Label fill functions similarly to label drag, with the difference being that students manually input their responses. In the hotspot section, the same image can be reused.

Step 16

Educators can upload a new diagram for the hotspot question type as needed.

Step 17

It’s crucial to use the designated tools necessary for completing the hotspot questions.

Step 18

After selecting the appropriate tool, educators can define areas that students must correctly identify and select.
