How to use the Photo Question in your lesson

Have your students answer your questions with a photo or image!

Updated over 2 years ago

With the interactive Photo Question, you can ask students to take pictures or use saved photos or screenshots and upload them as an answer to your question. The Photo Question is a great tool to use for independent work and homework.

Go to the lesson editor of LessonUp to start creating your lesson and adding interactive elements. To add a Photo Question, click on the yellow button '+ Add' or the grey area with the white cross, then choose the LessonUp item: Photo Question.

Once you create a Photo Question in the lesson editor, you have two options: you can click on 'Share with students' to give as homework, or click on 'Teach' to enter live teaching mode.

NOTE: By default, students can upload one photo into LessonUp, but you can change this to 5 photos per question by clicking on the 'Optional' button. So with 10 questions, every student can upload a total of 50 photos!

If you have shared the lesson with students, they can add an image by clicking on the 'Add Image' icon. The Photo Question as experienced in 'Share with students' is the perfect option for individual learning:

The Photo Question as experienced in 'Teach' mode (live mode): Students have to log into the free LessonUp mobile app to answer your question.

You can view the photos that students upload by checking the student reports. The photos, as well as all the answers, are only visible to you as their teacher.

NOTE: Collecting and viewing student reports is a paid feature in LessonUp. Upgrade your account to LessonUp Pro πŸ‘‘ to access this feature and many more!

You can easily turn a Photo Question into an Open Question and vice versa.

For an Open Question, once in the lesson editor, click on the 'Optional' button on the Photo Question, and choose the option 'Using an image is disabled.'
