Marking page regions

The third wizard step is to specify the purpose of each area on the template. The system recognizes three region types: Identity (where the student's name is written), Question (the question text), and Answer (the space where the student writes).


Why we mark regions

Marking regions serves three purposes:

  • The identity region is used to automatically match each page to the correct student when papers are uploaded.
  • Question regions tell AI where each question is; when it reads student papers page by page, it knows which answer belongs to which question.
  • Answer regions ensure that only writing in that area is graded; notes written elsewhere do not confuse grading.

At least one identity region is required

To continue, every page must have at least one identity region. If one or more name regions are missing, the system shows an orange warning and will not let you proceed.

Regions are processing

After you confirm the questions, you automatically move to Step 3. The system first tries to find likely regions on the template; this can take a few minutes.

Step 03 Select regions; Required regions list on the left (Page 1 Identity region, Question 1–3 Question and Answer regions with orange triangles, not yet complete); 'Regions are processing' loading message in the center; two orange warnings at the bottom.
Regions are being analyzed
  • The Required regions list on the left shows the status of every region the system expects. An orange triangle means it has not been created yet; a green check means it is ready.
  • Cancel analysis lets you draw all regions by hand if you do not want to wait.
  • The second warning below reminds you that all question and answer regions must be marked for automatic grading to work.

Regions named by AI

When analysis finishes, the system automatically labels each region as Question or Answer. Green is Answer region (CB); blue is Question region (SB). Because there is no Identity region yet, the top of the left panel shows an orange warning.

Step 03; blue (Question 1 - SB, Question 2 - SB, etc.) and green (Question 1 - CB, Question 2 - CB, etc.) region labels on the page; left panel shows Question and Answer regions for Questions 1–3 with green checks, Page 1 Identity region with an orange warning.
Automatically labeled regions — question/answer distinguished by color
  • SB (Question region) is shown with a blue frame and contains the question text.
  • CB (Answer region) is shown with a green frame and covers the space where the student writes.
  • Drag the edges of a region frame to resize it, or drag from the center to move it.
  • Use the × icon in the top right to delete a region; if a region is wrong, you can delete it and draw it again.

Mapping regions to questions

Clicking a region opens the 'Select region' dialog. From there you can choose which question or identity the region belongs to. AI usually guesses this correctly; you can correct it by hand if it does not match.

Step 03; Required regions list in the left panel, small 'Select region' dialog open on the page; 'Name - Page 1' selected, Save and Cancel buttons visible.
Dialog for mapping a region to a selected role
  • The Select region dropdown lists all questions and identity options; it relabels the region with the name you choose.
  • The empty box at the top is a hint for creating a new identity region; we cover that later.
  • Save applies the new assignment; Cancel closes the dialog and leaves the region as it was.

After mapping — real question names

After you map a region to a specific question, its label changes from 'Question 1 - SB' to the real question title: 'Q1 Homojen ve Heterojen Karışımlar - SB' / 'CB', for example.

Step 03; regions on the page labeled with question titles such as Q1 Homojen ve Heterojen Karışımlar - SB, Q1 - CB, Q2 Çözeltilerin Donma Noktası - SB, Q5 Kabartma Tozu Formülü ve Adı - SB, Q6 Polimerlerin Kullanım Nedenleri - SB; all question regions in the left panel have green checks.
After regions are mapped to each question
  • A question region (SB) and answer region (CB) pair must be tied to the same question. The system will not error otherwise, but grading can produce confusing results.
  • Multiple regions can be tied to the same question; for example, a long answer area can be defined as two separate CBs.
  • Green checks in the left panel confirm that the mapping was saved.

Adding an identity region

Drag an empty area on the page to draw a new region and mark it as 'Name - Page 1'. This is where the student writes their name, and the system uses it to automatically match uploaded papers to the correct student.

Step 03; empty box labeled orange 'Name - Page 1' in the top right of the page, other Question and Answer regions unchanged; green checks next to all required regions in the left panel, 'Done! All regions for naming and questions have been added.' message at the bottom.
Identity region added — at the top of the page
  • The name region should be placed at the top of the paper, where the student writes their name. Making it too large can make reading harder; making it too small can cause matching to fail.
  • If you have more than one page, you must define a separate name region for each page. You can still follow page order, but name regions are separate so they do not get mixed up.
  • The Done! message in the left panel confirms that all required regions are ready to continue.

All regions complete — editing later

You can change the region layout whenever you want; you can delete, move, or rename regions found by AI at any time.

Step 03; small 'Select region' dialog open on the page (Name - Page 1 selected), Question 1 SB and CB and other regions visible in the background.
Changing a region's assignment later
  • Click a region label to reopen the Select region dialog and assign a different question or identity.
  • Even if you created a wrong region, Re-analyze with AI lets you start over; this can delete existing regions, so be careful.
  • When all regions are complete, Continue at the bottom right turns green and takes you to the next main step —Uploading student papers.
