If you select picture question you can test ranges in pictures. You can ask for example for a certain location on a map. This location is marked as correct in the question wizard. The learner has to find the correct position in the picture when he/she answers.
You select ranges by dragging first the corner of the range via click on the favored position in the picture. Then you repeat this step for inserting the corner vis-à-vis. The other two corners complete automatically.
If you click the Preview of the picture question, a place holder picture will be shown in the answer area, if you haven’t selected a picture on the tab Question before. This place holder picture will also be shown in the question of the course for the user.
