Quizizz offers three different types of hotspots: point, rectangle, and freeform. Each of these types comes with its own benefits and specific use cases. Let’s take a closer look at them.
A point hotspot enables students to locate a precise point or position on an image. These hotspots are ideal for questions related to anatomy, geography, or any topic where a high level of accuracy is required. For instance, the point hotspot can be used to ask students to locate the nucleus of a cell.
The rectangle hotspot allows students to identify a rectangular portion of the chosen image. It is apt for highlighting relatively larger areas of a picture that can be easily enclosed within squares and rectangles. For example, rectangle hotspots can be used to select the noble gases in the periodic table.
Freeform hotspots give students the opportunity to highlight areas of an image that might be irregularly shaped. These areas might not neatly fit within rectangles or might be too large for point hotspots. For instance, freeform hotspots can be used to identify specific countries on a world map.
Hotspot questions offer a valuable tool to engage students in fun learning experiences. These questions enable you to create dynamic quizzes that address different learning styles. Here’s how you can further enhance student learning outcomes with Quizizz.
