Image Hotspot

In an Image Hotspot question, students click on a specific area of an image (a “hotspot”) in response to a question prompt. You can create multiple hotspots for an image while designating one as the "correct" choice.  You can also add targeted feedback for each correct and incorrect response.

Note: Resizing a Hotspot

You can resize a hotspot by selecting the square white handle on the right side of the hotspot. The cursor will change to the "move" cursor to indicate that you can resize the hotspot:
