How to make three colums in Matching Drag and Drop in Quizmaker? Not only one to one?

Mar 11, 2015

I need three columns instead of two. Please see attached example and advise in details if it is achievable. Thanks.

Hi Joy,

Just noticed that you posted this here as well. Like I said in the other thread, I would suggest using a freeform drag and drop. After looking at the doc you attached, I feel like I have a better understanding of what you're trying to achieve. I set the question up a little differently, but I think the result is the same. Here is a screenshot of my version. I have attached the .quiz file. Hopefully that helps! If not, let me know.

Thanks Emily. 

I have downloaded it successfully. However it is working but I found out it is difficult to apply specific marks on it. For instance, i set 4 points on this slide, once there is wrong answer in one connecting question, the user will get 0.  I attached another example, and this is the exact one I want.

Hi Joy,

Unfortunately Quizmaker does not have a feature for partial scoring, but I'd encourage you to submit a feature request if you'd like. If you are set on partial scoring, as a workaround, I would suggest breaking this exercise up into several different exercises (one for the A's, one for the B's, and one for the C's)

To shuffle the answers, just select shuffle like with any other question type (see screenshot).

If you don't want the first column to be draggable, then simply remove put those items in the drag item column (see screenshot). I've done a version of the quiz where the first column is not draggable and attached it.

Hope that helps!
