Matching drop-down question
Apr 05, 2012
By

My client asked me to do this:
What external factors does PEST stand for?
On left-side: [P] Drop-down choices: [People, Political, Privacy]
On left-side: [E] Drop-down choices: [Economic, Enterprise, External]
On left-side: [S] Drop-down choices: [Success, Social, Sustainability]
On left-side: [T] Drop-down choices: [Time, Threats, Technological]
Correct answers: Political, Economic, Social, and Technological
I'm not sure how to make, say, the first drop-down box to have choices People, Political, Privacy. It seems that I can only enter 1 item for each "Match" row?
Your suggestions will be much appreciated

Nhu,
The idea of the matching drop down is that each of the four "choices" will uniquely correspond to one of the four "matches."
The easiest way would probably be to use the "word bank" and do a separate slide for each word.
Hopefully someone else will have a better idea!

Having a similar issue.
I have 8 unique choices and three options for each.
For example:
Joint Action-----------------------------------Plane of Motion
Dorsiflexion----------------------------------Sagittal
---------------------------------------------------Frontal
---------------------------------------------------Transverse
Internal Rotation--------------------------Sagittal
---------------------------------------------------Frontal
---------------------------------------------------Transverse
I underlined the correct response for each.
The problem I am having is that there are 8 joint actions and each has the same three options for possible answers.
Four of them are Sagittal.
Two of them are Frontal.
Two of them are Transverse.
So, if the person chooses the wrong Sagittal from the drop down that I matched to the joint action it says incorrect, even though the response is the correct word. Is there a way to make it so this can function regardless of the exact same Sagittal match, etc...?
Thanks in advance!
Hey Philip,
You're right, if it's not 1:1 they will get it wrong.
I've seen users work around a similar need by simulating the drag and drop with off-slide selections.
I wanted to share a couple of conversations that may be helpful here and here.
Thank you, Leslie. I'll take a look at these and see if it sparks some ideas. I did see a workaround in Storyline from another older post about the same issue.
Thanks again!
No problem :) Good luck with your course!
