New: Image-based Question tool in Slice

Create “Drop a pin” questions directly within Slice

We are excited to announce the release of our new image-based question tool. The tool assesses students’ ability to identify a location of a feature on an image and provides immediate feedback. Unlike other digital assessment tools, our question tool tests feature identification skills without giving hints as to possible locations and allows students to interact with the image, zoom in and pan across, while attempting the question.

Key Benefits

• Identify features while interacting with images
• Students can easily manipulate the image interactively by zooming and panning across the slide as they answer the question.
• Instant feedback
• After placing a pin into their chosen area of the image, students receive immediate feedback as to whether they were correct or incorrect. This helps to alleviate the stress of marking and giving individualized feedback when the cohort size is large.
• Correct and incorrect responses are shown to facilitate in-class discussion and address misconceptions in real time.
• Reusable elements - save time while creating a question
• One of our goals has been to save you time while creating questions. Over the last ten years, our members have collectively made over 1,771,648 annotations on images. Our question tool lets you take advantage of any of your previously made annotations or public layers while defining the correct and feedback annotations for a question.

Classroom Uses

• Suit a variety of classroom uses, including both multiple or unlimited attempt formative classroom activities, and single attempt exam style questions with no feedback provided to learners.
