Question

Accepted Answer

Publishers, school/district admins, and teachers can create different types of questions on the platform. 
Drawing question type would allow the student to use various drawing tools like shapes, freehand drawing, eraser, etc. in their responses to the question. Students can add images to the solution and then can perform various drawing operations on the image. In addition to standard shapes and freehand drawing, some questions require users to use specific colors, therefore they can also change the color (both line and fill) of shapes and lines.
