What is an image labelling (drag and drop) question?
This question type shows an image with marked positions and a bank of labels. The candidate drags each label to the right position on the image.
When to use it
Use drag and drop image labelling for diagrams where recognition is the skill being tested: parts of the heart, components of a circuit, features on a map or parts of a machine.
How Synap marks it
Image labelling (drag and drop) questions are auto marked, with each label checked against its correct position, so results are instant and consistent.
Authoring tips
Use a clean image without existing labels, leave space for each drop zone, and include a few extra labels so candidates cannot complete the last one by elimination. If you want recall rather than recognition, use image labelling (text) instead.
Image labelling (drag and drop) is one of 29 question types in Synap's exam authoring software, alongside reusable question banks, bulk import and flexible marking.
