Annotation Problem Annotation Problem
################### ###################
.. note:: Annotation problems are currently in limited release. If you want to include an annotation problem in your course, talk with your edX program manager.
In an annotation problem, the instructor highlights specific text inside a larger text block and then asks questions about that text. The questions appear when students hover the mouse over the highlighted text. The questions also appear in a section below the text block, along with space for students' responses.

- A problem with an adaptive hint evaluates a student's response, then gives the student feedback or a hint based on that response so that the student is more likely to answer correctly on the next attempt. These problems can be text input or multiple choice problems. - A problem with an adaptive hint evaluates a student's response, then gives the student feedback or a hint based on that response so that the student is more likely to answer correctly on the next attempt.

- The simpler of Studio's two types of math problems. In numerical input problems, students enter numbers or specific and relatively simple mathematical expressions to answer a question. These problems only allow integers and a few select constants. You can specify a margin of error, and you can specify a correct answer either explicitly or by using a Python script. - The simpler of Studio's two types of math problems.
