Forj is happy to offer the new Caliper Tool within the Forj Learn Quiz Activity. The Caliper Tool adds an interactive measurement capability to quizzes or tests, enabling Learners to measure distance and dimensions directly against images during a graded assessment. Use of the Caliper Tool can help Learners answer questions related to medical images or other use cases where visual measurement is a core part of evaluating a Learner's knowledge. The standard measurement is a timescale in milliseconds.
Please reach out to Forj if you are interested in using this feature.
