Hot Text Item

From the Highlight & Drawing section, the Hot Text item type allows students to select from one or more areas of highlighted text in a sentence, paragraph or passage.
Click the box or green plus icon.
There are three sections.
The Question, Response Template, and an area to select the correct answer.
On the top right, select English or Spanish.
Click here to add a protractor or a ruler to the item.
Use the editing tools provided to format.
Make sure to use this first icon to paste in plain text when copying from another source.
For demo purposes, we are starting with everything already entered in.
Moving to the Response Template, after entering text, highlight areas that you want to make clickable for the student.
This includes both correct and incorrect areas.
To start this process, either highlight text and click 'highlight response' or check the box to highlight responses and then highlight text.
Anything selected turns blue.
If you highlight something by accident, click it to remove.
Or, use the 'remove all' button to clear out highlighted areas.
Once everything is selected, move to the next section to select which areas are designated as correct.
Answers identified as correct turn green.
The box here indicates how many are selected as correct out of the total possible highlighted areas.
Click Save on the top when finished.
A pop-up appears allowing you to select standards.
Select the Content Area, adopted year and select the primary course and Student Expectation.
You also have the option to dual code.
Click save.
From this screen, use the icons to make edits to the question, or details on the right.
Use this icon to test how the item reads for text-to-speech.
To add 'Related content', click the Add icon.
Related content, such as reading passages, Maps, and Charts, can be attached to more than one assessment item.
This makes tests easier to organize.
You can also assign keywords to items making them easier to search for in the future.
Click the add icon and put each new keyword or phrase on a new line.
