What this lets you do
Capture visual thinking where it happens
Drawing task keeps the image and learner marks together. It works when position, direction, shape or visual attention is part of the evidence you want to see.
This is an open image response, not a placement question. Learners create the marks; you interpret and grade the submitted drawing.
1 Set the visual context
Add the image learners need to examine
Create a Drawing task, write the instruction as the question prompt and add a diagram, map, photograph or other source image beneath it.
Keep essential instructions in text rather than embedding them only in the image. Use material you have the right to include.
2 Draw the response
Let learners mark, trace and annotate directly
Learners answer on top of the image. They can circle evidence, draw an arrow, trace a route or add the marks the prompt requires without translating the response into text.
The original image stays visible beneath the drawing, so the submitted response preserves where and how each mark was made.
3 Review the evidence
Inspect the submitted image with teacher judgement
Open a response to see the learner marks and original image together. Different valid drawings can remain different rather than being forced into one configured position.
Drawing task does not assign automatic correctness. Use the visual evidence to award points and add feedback in the normal grading flow.
- Preserve the position and shape of learner marks
- Review each submitted drawing yourself
