Drawing questions provide students with a whiteboard style editor to enter their work to. A myriad of editing tools allow students to draw, type, upload images, and more. This question type is ideal when a student should display the work they have done to reach a final answer, or to showcase work that was done off-line.

Add a Drawing question

  1. Click on the blue + button


  2. Choose "Drawing" from the Question types

  3. Type your question / instructions - these will appear at the top of the Drawing field when a student clicks on it

  4. Students can draw, type, or even upload an image into the Drawing field to answer the question!:

*Silver/Gold Users: Students can now add PDFs and Google Docs too!

Add a background

You can draw, type, and upload images to the background before assigning the formative to your students! For example, you could:

  • Add a blank graph and ask students to add data points to it

  • Add a graphic organizer and ask students to type in its fields.

  • Add an image or photograph and ask students to circle certain items in it

  • Add math using the math keyboard!

  • Click the ellipsis to move the Math keyboard

Editor Tools in Drawing

Select

This tool allows students to select, reshape, resize, and rotate any image or object on the Drawing canvas. This is also the tool the system will default to when exiting a text field or a math field.

Add Ruler / Protractor

Click this tool to add a ruler and/or a protractor, these can be dragged to any position on the board, and they can also be rotated.

Ellipsis
