Dropdown for Ratings
There are three types of ratings:
1. Assessment (get feedback on how the contents of a box is rated)
2. Answer (yes/maybe/no - make a poll)
3. Voting (get feedback on which option A, B or C is preferred)

Comments can be activated for each box.
With the help of the comment function, discussions can be held or students can submit their solutions (directly to the teacher).
In the comments the following inputs are possible:
- Text input
- Image uploads
- Audio recordings

Comments can be set to be only visible to the teacher or to anyone viewing the map.
