Thanks. IIIF is overkill for what we need this for and honestly not something I want to have to deal with pivoting to for this semester. In the end I'm probably just going to install the H5P plugin on WP multisite and have them use the image hotspot tool if they are going to annotate an image as part of their dataset analysis presentations.
Thanks to all for your responses.

I will co-sign Caitlin's comments about Glycerine and extend them to say looking at IIIF annotation options might be a fruitful part of your search. The IIIF Awesome list contains a number of tools for annotating, though unfortunately I don't know which ones other than Glycerine might have a WordPress plugin.
At the risk of insulting you, I'll note that like Knight Lab's StoryMapJS, many IIIF approaches favor or seem to require tiles but it's legitimate for IIIF to just have a single (preferably large) image file.
If you are in the IIIF Slack, that might be a good place to ask your question as well, especially in the iiif-in-the-classroom channel.
There's also a Slack for WordPress in higher education, and those folks might have something useful to say as well. (If you don't know of it, https://wpcampus.org/community-3/membership/ is where to go to join.)
