This article is specifically about Drag & Drop questions. To see all question types available in ALL In Learning, see this article.
Drag and Drop questions are Technology Enhanced Items that allow a student to drag an answer choice to a "drop spot." These drop spots can be a list, inline with text, in a table, etc.
Drag and Drop questions may allow students to drop answers in any of the spots (for example, a "pick all that apply" list with some distractors, or may require students to place each answer in a specific spot (for example, an ordered list from least to greatest). Both are explained in the following steps:
Creating Drag and Drop Questions
(See a video of these steps here.)
- Click Lessons/Assessments>My Assessments
- Click Create New>Custon Assessment (or edit an existing one by clicking Actions>Edit)
- Click Insert>Question>Drag & Drop
- Enter the question in the text field
- Type the answer(s) in the text field
- Highlight the correct answer then click Add New Drop Spot From Selected Text.
- Highlight another answer and scroll down and click Add Selected Text to Drop Spot
-
Continue adding answers under "dropspot1" by highlighting it, and clicking Add Selected Text to Drop Spot. Note these correct answers are under the same dropspot. They can be dropped in any order and be counted as correct.
- Click Add New Distractor and type in a wrong answer
- Click Save Question
To require each answer to be dropped in a specific spot, follow steps 1-6 above then highlight the next answer and click Add Selected Text to Drop Spot.
This will create multiple drop spots with one answer each. Students will get answers correct if they drop each answer in the correct drop spot.
Note 1: Any equation created by the Math EQ Equation Editor cannot be selected as a drop spot.
Note 2: To make drop spots take up 100 percent of the available width, toggle the "Use Full Width Drop Spots" button. This is especially helpful when using longer sentences as drop spots.
