I need to create quiz question for putting together some equipment. My goal is to have the learner drag the pieces ( pictures) on top of each in the correct order. Working with the drag and drop will not let me connect piece 2 to piece 1. I've tried hotspots, not working... Any advice on how to create this quiz quesion?
Hi Stephanie! Looks like Antony and Nick are taking care of you here. For the life of me, I cannot get Nick's example to work though. It looks awesome though.
Your post had me searching on my hard drive for a really simplified version of a drag/drop build-it I'd created to answer a community member question over a year ago. Not sure if it will help to get you started, but figured it was worth a shot.
I'd actually come up with a solution similar to Nick's, except I created the target objects with dotted lines. Also, this example actually pops into a lightbox when it's completed, since that met the needs of the individual who'd previously asked the question....speaking of which, please shout out with any questions!
A few ways to go about building assembly procedure simulations. One of the best ways is to anchor your first part then build sequentially on the first part. Here's an example I built a couple of years ago during the Storyline Beta. It might work differently now. Haven't tested opening this file in a newer version:
One other thing you can try with your dragged objects is offsetting the graphic so that the connection area is at the center of the shape and use small transparent shapes as your target area. Basically making it so that the center of the shape interlocks with your target. This lets you get precise with your object placement and make stuff fit together nicely.
thank you all for this information and sharing yor work. I'm looking for something very simular to Steve's assembly example - but I want it to be a quiz question. Steve - were you abel to grade that? or was it just for practice?
The way I work grading for complex interactions is by using a "hidden" true / false or multiple select question. So if I wanted to make it a go / no-go, I'd use triggers to modify the selected choice in a true / false question. If I wanted to grade each part of a sequence / process, I'd change the selection of a particular set of choices so that the way the interaction was answered could be tracked by the LMS.
You'd need another method if you wanted to give partial credit. Something like breaking the interaction up over multiple slides could do the trick.

Hi Stephanie,
It sounds like a drag and drop could be the answer but I'm struggling to see how your slide should work.
Are you able to upload a .story file of this slide so we can take a closer look?

This one isn't drag and drop but might give you some ideas:

@Steve - those are two of my favorite examples in Storyline. We show your bolty example often in workshops and it always elicits "oohs" and "ahhhhs."
I need to update it with something more snazzy
That was a quickie experiment in the early days.
