In this task type, there is a background image and a number of regions. The solver must select one or more regions. The regions may be visible or invisible. The solver makes a selection by clicking on the region with the mouse. The selected region changes color. Selections can be undone using the "Undo" button (which cancels the last selection) or the "Undo All" button. The creator specifies whether the regions are visible to the solver. If they should not be visible, the regions must be marked as invisible.
When creating a task, the basic fields required for task entry are displayed by default. Additional options appear when clicking the 'More data' link. The additional options selected by the task creator will remain visible in the task entry view after saving.

Common data for content blocks
Field / Button | Explanations | Conditions |
Example | When marking, an example is displayed to the task solver: a content block with the answer is shown, the answer cannot be modified, and no points are awarded for this answer. | Checkbox. By default, it is hidden and will appear when clicking the 'More data' link. |
Initially invisible | When enabled, it allows the content block to be hidden when opening the task and revealed based on the user's next action. | Checkbox. By default, it is hidden and will appear when clicking the 'More data' link. |
Points shall be rounded within the block | When marking, the points awarded to the solver are rounded to the nearest whole number. | Checkbox. By default, it is hidden and will appear when clicking the 'More data' link. |
Do not color incorrect/correct responses | By default, in solved and graded tasks, answers that received the maximum points are displayed with a green border, while other answers are displayed with a red border. If this checkbox is selected, no colored border is displayed around the answers. This is used for questions where determining the correctness of an answer's color is too complex. | Checkbox. By default, it is hidden and will appear when clicking the 'More data' link. |
Background image / File | In the task, an image must be uploaded to the platform. Clicking the "File" button opens the option to search for and upload files from the computer. After a successful upload, the uploaded file's name appears next to the button, along with its size in bytes shown in parentheses. | Button. Mandatory to add. |
Width | The width of the displayed image in pixels. If both the width and height are left unspecified, the background image will be displayed in its original size. | Numeric field. If only the width is specified and the height field is left empty, the image size will be adjusted proportionally based on the width. |
Height | The height of the displayed image in pixels. If both the width and height are left unspecified, the background image will be displayed in its original size. | Numeric field. If only the height is specified and the width field is left empty, the image size will be adjusted proportionally based on the height. |
The minimum number of selections | The minimum number of options makes the specified number of answers mandatory if it is marked on the task creation Additional Options page that partial answers are not allowed to be confirmed. Before reaching the minimum number of options, the solver will not see the button to confirm the answer or proceed to the next question. | Numeric field. |
The maximum number of selections | The entered number indicates how many selections the solver can make. If the maximum number of selections is 2 or more, exceeding this limit will display an error message: "Maximum number of selections reached." If the maximum number of selections is 1, no error message is shown when making a second selection; instead, the first selection is automatically removed. | Numeric field. |
Source | Used to add the image source. It is displayed to the solver as an icon. | Text field. By default, it is hidden and will appear when clicking the 'More data' link. |
Options for marking areas on the image |
Depending on the shape you want to use to mark selectable areas on the map, you can choose the appropriate shape type. The options are:
|
Radio buttons. They appear after saving when a background image is added.
|
Regions | After adding the background image, it is possible to mark selectable areas on it. | Block. It appears after saving when a background image is added. |
Add region |
When the button is pressed, text fields are added to the Region table. ID – The region's ID. Examodo fills this by default, but a custom ID can also be entered (Note: IDs must be unique). Coordinates – The coordinates of the region. Before drawing the region on the image, you must choose the region shape (Options for marking areas) and then click in the field and start drawing the region on the image. Once the drawing is finished, the coordinates will appear in the text field. Invisible – A checkbox. When checked, the region will not be displayed to the solver on the map (the region is marked, but the solver cannot see its boundaries). Explanation – A text field. A description of the region can be added here. This is displayed in the assessment matrix next to the region's ID. Show – An icon. When clicked, this specific region is displayed on the image with a red outline. Delete – An icon. Deletes the region from the image. |
Button. After pressing, text fields will appear for entering the regions. |
Download files | When pressed, the uploaded file in the content block will be downloaded. | Button. |
The response evaluation and the evaluation matrix (with some options hidden under the dropdown arrow “Show more”) appear after saving, provided that the background image has been added.
Field / Button | Explanations | Conditions |
Item ID | The question ID must be unique within the task. When creating a new question, the system automatically suggests a default ID value, but the task creator can change it. If there are many questions in the task, it is recommended to rename the question IDs in a way that reflects the content or location of the question in the task. This reduces the risk of confusion between questions and their assessment matrices for the creator. | Text field. Mandatory. |
Explanation | Pre-filled, the value from the draggable text block. | Text field. |
Minimum points of item | The minimum points value indicates the lowest possible number of points that can be awarded for a given question. In some cases, a question may have multiple answers. First, the corresponding number of points is determined for each answer, then the points are summed. If the total points are less than the minimum points value, the solver is awarded the minimum points. | Numeric field. |
Maximum points of item | The number indicates the maximum possible points that can be awarded for a given question. If the assessment matrix has already been saved, the calculated maximum points value, based on the system's calculations, will be shown in parentheses after the maximum points input field. The system calculates the maximum points based on the answers and their respective points in the assessment matrix. The calculated maximum points may be greater than or equal to the maximum points set for the question. | Numeric field. |
Default points given for response, which does not match matrix | The default points value is the number of points awarded to all answers that do not have a row in the assessment matrix. For example, if all correct answers are included in the assessment matrix, default points are given to incorrect answers. By default, the default points are 0. | Numeric field. |
The number of responses excessed gives minimum points | This applies only to questions where the solver can provide multiple answers. Example: If the value of this field is 3 and the solver gives a total of 5 answers, the minimum points will be awarded regardless of whether the answers were correct or not. | Numeric field. |
The least number of correct responses allowed | This applies only to questions where the solver can provide multiple answers. Example: If the value of this field is 3 and the solver gives a total of 2 answers, the minimum points will be awarded even if the answers provided were correct. | Numeric field. |
Do not count response for results | When selected, the points awarded for this question are not included in the solver's total test score. This is used, for example, when the task points are determined by a calculated value in the content block. In tests where the total points are not counted and instead the result is displayed by individual indicators, the question will not be shown in the result view. | Checkbox. |
Computer-markable | Indicates whether the question is computer-assessable or not. When creating a new question, it is by default set as computer-assessable unless it is an open text input content block. | Checkbox. |
Hybrid-markable | When selected, the answers entered into the assessment matrix are evaluated by the computer. Answers that are not entered into the matrix are forwarded to the evaluator for assessment. | Checkbox. |
Add |
Adds a row to the assessment matrix. The assessment matrix is a table where each row corresponds to a possible answer and indicates how many points are awarded for that answer. A row in the assessment matrix consists of the answer and the evaluation of that answer. The row contains the following fields: |
Button. |
Order | Serial number, automatically filled by Examodo. | |
Region | A dropdown menu with the IDs of the regions. | Dropdown menu. |
Condition | If a condition is described, the score for the answer listed in the assessment matrix will only be counted if the condition is met, i.e., the condition's truth value is true. The condition is described as a Python formula, which may depend on the answers to other questions. | Text field. |
Points | The assessment points awarded for a given answer. Points are given as real numbers, can include decimal places, and can be positive, negative, or zero. A row with 0 points in the assessment matrix may be necessary if a hit counter is used and you want the answer to be recorded in the counter. Negative points can be given for incorrect answers. For rows marked as "Correct," the points field may be left blank (in which case 1 point is counted). | Numeric field |
Correct | A checkbox. Checking this box means that if no value is entered in the points field, the solver will receive 1 point for the given answer. If the solver is allowed to view the correct answer, marking this checkbox indicates that the row is the correct answer. | Checkbox. |
Match counter | The hit counter field where the counter name can be entered (the name can include letters, numbers, and underscores, and the first symbol cannot be a number). The counter allows grouping of answers, even across different content blocks (the counter applies within the task). If a counter name is entered, the system will count all answers that match the specific row and can be used in the formula of a calculated value content block. | Text field. |
