Now that you've started to build an advanced assessment, you may want to add a Label Image with Text question.

In Label Image with Text, students type a short response into fields that are positioned at predetermined points on an image.

Example

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 text from the library, located in the Fill in the Blanks (Cloze):

Compose Question

Type question prompt into this field.

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.

Add Image

This is the image you will add response boxes to in order for students to type into.

Select Edit to upload an image as the label template.

Add Response Boxes

Drag the numbered response fields into their appropriate positions. You can add additional boxes by selecting the +Add button.

Set Correct Answers and Scoring

Set Correct Answer(s)

Point value: Enter the full point value for getting this answer correct (see More options section below)
Answer fields: Type correct answers into fields. By default, answers will need to be exact (but are not case-sensitive, and will ignore blank spaces before or after responses) to be auto-graded properly. Misspelled or alternate words will not be awarded credit (see More options section below).

Scoring

If you have auto-scoring enabled, you'll have to choose Exact Match, Partial Match per Response, or Partial Match. Using the example above, here is a description of how each will work:

Exact Match

The entire question must be answered correctly to receive the point(s).

In this example, students will need to place all three responses correctly in order to earn the full point.

Partial Match per Response

Each response box is scored independently, and each is worth the number of points indicated in the point(s) field.

In this example, each correct response box would be worth 1 point, making the entire question worth 3 points total. For example, if the student correctly places 2 out of the 3, the student will earn 2/3 points.

Partial Match

Similar to partial match per response, each response box is scored independently, but the point value indicated in the point(s) field is evenly split among the number of options.

In this example, each correct response box will earn 0.33 of a point. For example, if the student correctly places 2 out of the 3, the student will earn 0.66/1 point.

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 (Correct must be the highest point value).

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.

More Options

There are other scoring and layout options available.

Scoring

Click to see other scoring options such as checking answers and minimum scores.

Unscored/Practice usage: removes all scoring from the item.
Check answer button & Check answer attempts: find more information here!
Penalty points: use this option if you want students to lose points for giving incorrect answers. Find more information here!
Minimum score if attempted: student will receive points as long as the question has been attempted (if the question is left blank or is unanswered, the student will not earn those points).

Click to see how to adjust the maximum character length allowed.

Maximum Length: You can specify the maximum amount of characters that can be entered in the response boxes. Enter a value in the Maximum Length (characters) field. The maximum possible number of characters for this field is 250 characters.

Layout

This setting will allow the text to move to the next line (similar to text-wrapping) if the answer is longer than the length of the response box.
