Hi Arthur

you don't mention which version of Quizmaker you are using...so

here are the tutorials for QM13 and QM360 on creating a DnD quiz slide

Hi Arthur

did you view the tutorial and did it help you?

Also, just to let you know when you reply via email your email signature details are displayed in the forum and any attachments won't display.  You can come in and select edit if you want to remove that information. 

Hi Arthur

here is a quick sample of a QM DnD. The two squares dropped on the large square is correct. When the oval is dropped it's incorrect.

Have you filled out the form view of the slide that has the option choices?

Hope this helps

I do not see the information on my screen as per your description.

Slide view has a rectangle on the left that says Drag Item 01. Then there is the long rectangular oval and then there is another rectangle on the right. I think it is the Axis format. I can move the left rectangle to the right rectangle and it stays there like I want it to based on the option choices.

But when I click submit it tells me it is incorrect selection. In the Form view I went through the selection process of what box on the left is to connect to the box on the right. I could not find anywhere where that I could identify this as being the correct selection, so after many tries, I kept thinking it would automatically assume it was correct since I could not identify it as correct. But it simply isn't so.

Seems as if I am doing OK with getting the information together. Now I just need it to say I selected the correct one.

Thanks.

I did view the tutorial and also your attachment.  Tutorial did not answer my issue.  Yours works like mine should.  I don't see anything different you did than I, but somehow, as I mentioned in an earlier email, something is amiss that is not saying the drag is correct.

Hi Arthur

happy to take a look if you would like to upload your QM file. Just use the grey 'add attachment' button at the bottom of the post to upload.

I am sending two.  I tried it with a template and had the issues.  Thinking it was something I was doing wrong with the template, I then tried it without using a template and had the same issues.

Thanks

Hi Arthur

i've previewed both test_1 and test_2 and they are behaving as expected.  I can get the correct answer to display. 

WOW! That's both good news and bad news. Good that it does work like it is supposed to.

Bad because I just tried it again and it keeps coming up as incorrect.

Any ideas where I can go from here??

Software issue or computer issue? Uninstall and reinstall??

Thanks, Art

Hi Art 

here is a quick video of how I am previewing the test 1 slide - can you let me know if you are doing something different.

OK, it works

So the way it works is that if there are four drag and drops, all four, whether there is any text in the boxes, must be completed before you submit. Even though I did not assign number 3 and number 4 locations, it assumed that to be the case until programmed otherwise.

Then is I only have, for example, 3 to match, then I would need to delete one of them. And if I have 5, then I would have to add one.

But in all cases, all would have to be completed in order to get a correct.

So if I were taking this as a pretest, I, as the student, could not check each one as I drag and drop??

But I could keep trying until I get them correct, as long as I were to set the number of tries to a greater number than 1. So I could give them 20 tries, even though this would not make sense, but then one could keep trying and trying for 20 times to see if they can get them right. In other words, a lot of guessing.
