Find the Hotspot

Find the Hotspot is an H5P content type that is used for creating an image-based test where the student tries to find the correct answer on a question by clicking on an image. This content type allows students to press somewhere on an image and get feedback on whether that was correct or incorrect according to the task description.

Below is an interactive example of the Find the Hotspot content type.

In order to create a Find the Hotspot content type:

1. Go to your content bank, click the Add button, and choose Find the Hotspot. Doing so will redirect you to the Find the Hotspot editor. Click the Enter Fullscreen button on the top-right of the editor to enable fullscreen editing.

Click Done if you are done editing the hotspot.
