Method and system for hotspot configuration in a learning management system

A system for hotspot configuration, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer memory including computer-readable instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive a digital image at a hotspot configuration module;
• if available, receive one or more hotspot markers for the digital image at the hotspot configuration module, wherein the hotspot markers indicate a location of a hotspot in the digital image;
• prepare a grid to be superimposed over the digital image via a grid setting module;
• display the digital image, hotspot markers, and grid via the hotspot configuration module;
• allow a user to edit the grid and hotspot markers via the hotspot configuration module, including allowing a user to edit alternative text describing the content of the hotspot identified by the hotspot marker;
• determine if the grid is valid based on the locations of the hotspot markers within the grid at a grid validation module, and:
• if not, notify the user and return to allow the user to edit;
• and
• if so, output the finalized digital image with hotspot markers and alternative text.
