How to create a 'Hotspot Question'.

A  HotSpot refers to a pre-defined range of pixel coordinates within an image which when clicked indicates a correct answer. The Hotspot question allows the participants to indicate the answer by clicking a specific area of an image. 

Below are the steps to create a Hotspot question:

  1. Go to EDITOR > LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE > Questions and Quizzes > Question Bank.
  2. Click on the 'Add New Question' button at the top right corner.
  3. On the 'Create new Question' select the 'Question Type' as ‘Hotspot’.
  4. Enter your question in the ‘Question’ field.
  5. Upload the image that you want the participants to click on. Do note that the maximum size of the image that you can upload is 2MB.
  6. Use your mouse pointer to select the correct area. You might need multiple clicks to define the outline. Undo: This button lets you undo the last selection.
    Clear Selection: This button allows you to clear the entire selection that you have made.
    Change Image: This button allows you to change the image.
  7. Use ‘Feedback’ if you want to add additional information to a question.  (Optional) The feedback is visible only after the participant has completed answering the questions in a quiz. You can add text, videos, or images to feedback.
  8. In SmartWinnr, every question requires at least one category. Categories are pre-defined by your administrator. You can select one or more categories that best defines a question.
