Hello!

Interesting topic. I'm working on an original demo for this week's challenge, but thought I'd share a discussion I had with the wonderful Katie Riggio over on the Storyline discussion board about making Drag and Drop interactions more accessible:

TL;DR Drag and Drops can present real obstacles for some users, so building a fallback interaction that can be accessed from the keyboard is good practice.

Here's my rejigged Star Wars themed demo, which now includes the option to simply Click as well as Drag.

Thank you for sharing this, Jonathan! I frequently shy away from drag and drops for accessibility reasons and this is a great alternative!
