The “Universitat de Barcelona” (University of Barcelona) through its “Programa de Mejora e Innovación Docente” (Programme of Educational Improvement and Innovation) offers the community a new question type for Moodle called UBhotspot. This new type of question allows the teacher to create multiple areas or spots within an image for self-evaluation.
The project, which is still in beta, has been developed for Moodle version 1.9 and it can be downloaded from the repository:
https://github.com/EquipTecnicCampus/moodle-qtype_ubhotspots
To install the plugin unzip it to the /question/type directory in your Moodle folder, login to Moodle as Administrator and click Notifications under Site Administration.
The project is being currently tested by a team of teachers and students of the University of Barcelona. At this stage we are solving all the bugs that the testers find.
As I already said we are still in beta and any bug report or comment will be very appreciated.
