Using Drag-and-Drop Interactions in E-Learning #321

Using Drag-and-Drop in E-Learning #321:  Challenge | Recap

Drag-and-drop interactions are a fantastic way to compel learners to lean forward and interact with the course content. They’re one of the most versatile and engaging interactions because they can be used many different ways. Some common use cases include: 

• Sorting activities where users drag and drop facts into different categories
• Practicing real-world skills by placing objects into certain positions
• Process activities that require learners to drag and drop steps into their correct order
• Navigation activities where users drag and drop objects to navigate from one slide to another

Challenge of the Week
