Highlighting areas on an image

Feb 28, 2011

Hi, complete newbie here, first post, so please excuse what I'm sure is a simple question!  :o)

Please can someone tell me how, on a labelled graphics interaction, to highlight a rectangular area that the learner has to click on, in order to display information about that particular area of the screen? i.e. have highlighted boxes rather than the little red circles with arrows in?

Thanks

Ant

Hi Ant- welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

You can choose from a few different types of labels in the Labeled Graphic interaction, but it's not possible to create a rectangular area. You can learn more here:

Creating Interactions > Labeled Graphic

(see the section on Marker Style)

That would make a good feature request, though, which I'd encourage you to submit.

Also, not sure it would meet your needs (more for quizzing), but you might want to check out the Quizmaker Hotspot question type, which does allow you to designate a rectangle as the correct answer on an image (graded question type).
