I used to be able to use images as answers in Rise. Now I'm looking at it and I'm no longer able to. Please Help

Also adding my vote to allowing us to use images as answers. Please add this functionality back, either as a "bug" or a feature, makes no difference to me. :-)

+1 for using images as answers. Much easier for a learner to choose correct answers directly than to look back and forth at images and answer options and try to match them up. It's the difference between - check all images that show correct use of our logo vs observe the images and then choose which are correct: a and b? a and c? a, c, and d? Etc. It's an extra mental load they don't need. They could make a mistake just in trying to match up images to answers, even if they know the correct answer. (I realize these can also just each be broken out into a separate questions - each one correct or incorrect - but that also makes the content seem more overwhelming and lengthy than it really is.)

I need this for teaching code, since I can't include code in answers either.

Right click on the answer / response you want to edit and choose 'Inspect' (wording might vary based on your browser). In the web inspector window, it should have selected the paragraph text representing the answer. Right click this text and choose 'Edit html' or similar (again, different browsers have different wording here). Then you can add an image "tag" with the source pointing to the image (online) that you want to use. If you want to embed the image (not have it hot linked) you would have to first encode the image to "base64" and insert it as a data source. To do that, use a service like https://www.base64-encode.com/image-to-base64 to encode your image to a bit horrible-looking string and paste that in as the "src" of the image tag. That's about it. You can use this trick anywhere you can normally format text.

Since folks have been asking for this for at least 5 years, maybe it is something that could be considered.

You can kind-of hack it using the web inspector trick for question types that allow html (like choice).

Doesn't work on connect questions, or the sorting activity (even though when I hacked the published file, it quite happily displayed images as cards rather than text).

  Thank you for sharing, Tim! This is exactly what I'm looking for. Could I ask how you created it?

    Hmmm, I wasn't able to do this successfully. Exactly which bit needs to be swapped out for the image tag? I included an image of what I am seeing below.

  Hi Tim,
  Do you know if it is possible to add an image to a matching quiz?
