How are You Using Drag-and-Drop Interactions in E-Learning? #468

Using Drag-and-Drop in E-Learning #468: Challenge | Recap

If there’s one e-learning interaction that belongs in every instructional designer’s toolkit, it’s drag-and-drops.

Drag-and-drop interactions are a fun way to engage learners and encourage them to interact with the screen. They’re also one of the most flexible interactions you can create.

So, whether you’re designing straightforward question slides or custom freeform slides, drag-and-drop interactions are one of the best ways to get learners to stop, think, and interact with the content. And that’s what this week’s challenge is all about.

🏆 Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to share a drag-and-drop interaction to show how they can be used in e-learning. You can use any authoring tool you like and make it as simple or custom as you have time for.

Note: Since Storyline’s drag-and-drop interactions aren’t currently keyboard accessible, they can create serious barriers for learners who rely on keyboard navigation or use screen readers. Check out the following on-demand training for some ideas on creating accessible drag-and-drops:
