What you're describing sounds like a "tooltip."
You're correct - "tooltip" is the correct word here.
Maybe it would be even better to have it displayed all the time instead of mouse hover
I started by displaying it all the time, but the form got unusably cramped.
no mobile device users without a cursor to hover with?
My software is solely for desktop users, by design. No teacher I have ever spoken with engages in this kind of work on their mobile phones. I had a user laugh at me during an interview for suggesting it. XD

Certainly you'd want a proper keyboard for adding a lot of content to it but once that was done, part of its benefit is to reduce typing, making completion of a card on a mobile device more feasible. If the task involves a lot of bouncing back and forth between your thing and something else (like a school's student information system), yeah, only a desktop OS will do.
- cushychicken 5y agoI appreciate the suggestion, but there is zero input from my userbase that suggests that making this work on a tablet would have positive ROI in terms of engineering time. Most teachers I've spoken to simply don't use tablets. (Based on my research, few of them even own tablets.) a school's student information system This is exactly why that's the case.
