In the Label image with drop-down question, the student selects a short response from drop-down menus that are positioned at predetermined points on an image.

Example:

Article Table of Contents:


Build the Question

If you are creating a new item, select the + Create button on the assessment builder, title the item, then select the Add New plus sign to add a question.

If you are adding to an existing item, simply select the Add New plus sign (as shown above) to add a question to the item.

Next, select Label image with drop-down from the library, located in the Fill in the Blanks (Cloze) section (or type into Search to find any question type):

➡️ Step 1: Compose Question

  • You have many formatting options from the Rich Text toolbar, including changing the font size, adding tables, using math symbols, adding multimedia, and more! Click here for more information on the different functions of the Rich Text toolbar.

  • Compose Question: Type question prompt into this field.

  • Image Preview: Select Edit to upload an image as the label template

  • (Optional) Text on Hover: Upon hovering the mouse pointer over the image, text in this box will appear. Image alternative text: for students with accessibility needs, this field can be used to describe the content of the image in some detail.

➡️ Step 2: Add Answer Content

Response positions

  • Click and drag the numbered response fields into their appropriate positions.

  • Add or Remove responses: Click the Add button to add more responses. Click the red X button on the response field to remove.

Possible responses

  • In each set of possible responses, type in the desired multiple-choice answers

  • Drag handle: Rearrange menu choices

  • Trash: Delete

  • Add button: Add more choices to the drop-down menu


Set Correct Answers and Scoring

➡️ Set Correct Answers

  • Answer fields: Select correct answers from drop-down menus. Note - in order for the question to auto-score, correct answers must be selected here.

➡️ Scoring

  • Point value: Enter the full point value for getting this answer correct (see More options section below)

  • Alternate answers: If alternate answers are acceptable (for instance, if there are multiple correct answers), click the + button. Each set of alternates can be valued at different point levels (but Correct must be the highest point value).(see More options section below for more information).

  • Match all possible responses: If all Alternates are equivalent, check Match all possible responses, and the Correct answer or any Alternate will be awarded full credit.

  • Scoring Type:

    • Exact match (Default): All parts of the answer must be correct to be awarded credit.

    • Partial Match Per Response: Each correct answer will be awarded the full credit designated in the Set correct answer(s) field. (In this example with three answers, awarding 1 point per correct answer, adding up to as many as 3 total points).

    • Partial Match: Each correct answer will be awarded partial, proportional credit designated by the Set correct answer(s) field. (In this example with three answers, 1/3 point per correct answer, adding up to 1 total point).


Student Preview

It's highly recommended to Preview the question before adding it to the assessment. This displays the question as the students will see it and also verifies that the answers and scoring work as expected.

  • Step 1: Select the Preview button to go into Preview mode.

  • Step 2: Answer the question with the correct answers, including alternates.

    • Selecting Show Answers will present the correct answers.

  • Step 3: Verify that the auto-score correctly calculates the point value.

  • Check answer button: Adds a button that allows students to check if their answers are correct.

  • Check answer attempts (used in conjunction with Check answer button): Entering a number in this field will limit how many times the student may use the Check Answers button. Default is 0, which means students may check an indefinite number of times.
