New TE Question type: HotSpot
Hot Spot questions require a student to select a particular point (or multiple points) in an image. You can add hot spots for correct answers and distractors to any imported image – maps, graphs, charts, diagrams, etc.
Upgraded Text-To-Speech Options
We’ve updated the Student Portal Text-to-Speech feature to give IEP students (or non-IEP if the activation settings allow) over 100 high-quality voice options in various languages and accents.
Automatic Partial-Credit Grading of Drag-and-Drop Questions
Now, in addition to automatically grading correctly answered Drag and Drop questions, partially correct responses will be automatically graded as well. If a student gets 3 out of 4 Drop Spots correct, the question will be graded as a 4-part rubric slider set to 75% partial credit for the question (adjustable manually on the grading screen by the teacher).
