Hot Spot Question type

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

 

I know this has been requested before, but PLEASE resurrect it!  I teach anatomy-based courses and I really need this question type.  Similar types are used on national board exams in many professions.  Our campus is currently deciding between Blackboard and Canvas, and, I have to say, the lack of hotspot question types is the closest thing I have to a deal breaker.  I really like many of the Canvas features, but I NEED this question type to be available to me.

I have voted, and I've passed this along to the School of Nursing faculty who are participating in the Canvas pilot. We need this for the NCLEX-style questions! Thanks, Sharlette!

Thanks, Laura! Hopefully we can get enough votes. I appreciate you passing it along…I’ll keep looking for places to send it.

This type of question is also very important in many of the clinical diagnostic courses. Please add it!

This question type would demonstrate a real commitment to meeting the needs of our community of learners with diverse learning styles and evaluation objectives.  Maximizing accessibility for users with visual challenges will be critical.

 @foleyl  I just had a request this week from a nursing faculty member who stated that she needs these types of questions for the exact same reason.

Voted for it first time around and again now. Hoping these votes persuade those looking at the new Quiz Engine to add it in?

I could use the hot spot question.  I give a test on specific software use and want students to be able to show me where they need to click to complete a task the hot spot question is very useful!!  I had it in Blackboard but had to drop this assessment when we moved to Canvas. 

I expect the talented people at Instructure will add it in the future.

This item type is under consideration and will be on the roadmap for the Modern Quizzing Engine​. I am not able to offer a specific timeline at the moment.
