Drag and Drop with Same Answer
Jul 11, 2012

I have 4 brief situations. I want the user to select Appropriate or Inappropriate. But, when the user selects "appropriate" it remembers if that one was typed next to A rather than the one typed next to C and marks them wrong. Is there a way to allow an answer to be used multiple times? I am trying to avoid using Multiple Choice - "which of the following" type question.
Example:
A. Dr. Bob access patient Smith's record. Appropriate
B. Nurse Mary looks up her own x-ray file. Inappropriate
C. Joe works on unit and looks up wife's records. Inappropriate
If user drags and drops the "Inappropriate" from B to match with C, it is marked wrong....

Nancy, instead of a drag and drop you might try using a multiple response question. See Jeanette's tip on "Building a multiple response question that requires users to categorize items": https://player.vimeo.com/video/204926619. So, you would list your questions and the users would check their answer under the text box column headings of "Appropriate" or "Inappropriate."
Watched the screenr and created the questions - works great! Thank you...another new aspect I had not used before!
so, the result with this method, is that one statement can be "appropriate" and "unappropriate" at the same time.....
I have a similar situation. I have a technical diagram and want the learner to drag the label over the correct hardware. But there's a piece of equipment that has is used twice. I currently have it setup as a drag & drop. The problem is that I have two labels that are the same and they can be correct on 2 different objects. I'm not certain I can do a multiple response like Jeanette since it is just a checkbox. I need the learner to drag the label over the correct hardware.
Hi Sandie,
You'll need to set it up with variables instead of the normal drag and drop set up. There is an example in this thread from Josiah.
For this type of question I create 2 boxes at the bottom of the quiz screen, one labeled true/inappropriate/whatever and the other labeled false/appropriate/whatever. Then I have my list of choices in the top 3/4 of the screen. The learner drags the number of each choice into the appropriate box below. I've never answered this type of question here before now, but attached is a template of mine.
Thanks Caroline for jumping in to share your example here!
Brilliant! This is exactly what I needed Diane. You are a genius and a woman way ahead of your time!
