Photo

A Photo question asks the candidate to submit a picture as their answer — a photo of handwritten work, a document, a physical object, or themselves. You control which capture sources are available, and reviewers see the submitted photos in the evaluation screens.

Capture Sources

Each source can be allowed or disallowed per question:

• Take a photo with the camera — the candidate captures directly with their webcam (or phone camera on mobile). When several cameras exist, a selector lets them pick; works in every modern browser.
• Upload a file — the candidate uploads an existing image file instead of capturing live.
• Take the photo on another device — the candidate continues on a second device (typically their phone) to take the photo there, which lands in the same answer. Optionally require pairing, so the second device must be explicitly linked to the session before it can submit.

The another-device option solves the classic exam problem: the candidate sits at a laptop, but the work is on paper. Instead of struggling to hold a page up to a laptop webcam, they photograph it properly with their phone. Requiring pairing keeps this controlled in proctored settings.

Why another device?

Evaluation

Photos are reviewed by humans — there is no auto-scoring. Attach a rubric for structured, consistent grading (see Rubric Scoring), or score manually. The question's multiplier and dimensions apply as usual (see Scoring).

Common Uses

• Handwritten calculations, proofs, and diagrams in math or engineering exams.
• Practical work evidence — lab setups, artwork, crafts, machinery readings.
• Document collection — signed forms or certificates as part of an assessment flow.

Photo questions support all shared question features — layout, hints, folders and tags, scoring dimensions. See Common Question Features.
