Image Annotation Upload

With Image Annotation Upload, students to upload and annotate an image

This Question Type allows students to upload and annotate an image. The question can be used in two ways:

• using an annotation tool to add response boxes and label the image that has been uploaded by the author. This can be auto scored.
• ask students to upload an image directly from their machine and use the annotation tool to place and label the response areas. In this case, the question cannot be auto scored

After entering the question stem in the Compose question field, no additional steps are required if an image is to be uploaded by the students. You can make styling changes in the Formatting pane and save the question.
