Simulating Real-World Activities with Drag-and-Drop Interactions #380

Drag-and-Drop Practice Activities #380: Challenge | Recap

But there’s so much more you can do with freeform drag-and-drops to encourage learners to practice new skills and interact with your content. Let’s take a look at a couple of examples.

DemoFest is an excellent way to showcase your project with the e-learning community. You’ll also get to see a wide variety of projects and talk to the designers and developers about how they built them. It’s like a year’s worth of E-Learning Challenge demos in one event.

• DemoFest project submission deadline is July 29 
• There’s $200 discount if you register by July 22

You can learn more about the conference and DemoFest on the DevLearn website. I hope to see you there.
