Hi - is there a way to force a learner to drag and drop ALL the Drag Items onto a Drag Target before submitting their answers? At the moment they can leave Drag items undragged and still submit and it moves onto the next slide.
Are all the drag items associated with a drop target - meaning they'd need to use all to be scored correctly? If so, I'd look at setting the attempts to unlimited meaning that they will keep seeing the try again layer and having to keep dragging items until they answer correctly.
Add me to the list of those looking for an answer to this. Ashley, your solution will cause the learner to eventually figure out he/she left a drag item behind, however, it also provides an unlimited number of attempts to answer the question correctly. My preference is to grade his/her answer based on the first submission, but also ensure that drag items have mistakenly been left behind.
Another option would be to look at disabling the submit button until all the drag items are in a state of dropped correct/incorrect - that way you'd see if they left any behind but not allow the user to proceed until moving all the items at least to any drop location.
Well you caught me on a Monday... I was thinking Storyline not Quizmaker. :-(
Sorry John - there isn't a way around the behavior as indicated in Quizmaker. It's certainly something that you can share your thoughts on in the form of a feature request!

Hi Ashley,
In Quizmaker '13, how could I hide or trigger the submit button until all drag and drop items have been dropped?
