Creating a Drop and Drag equation

Sep 13, 2019

Hello,

I am trying to create a drop and drag for an equation. I was able to move the correct items successfully onto my drop points, but upon submission the answer always come through as Incorrect. 

I inserted buttons, not text boxes. I am not sure if this makes a difference as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Harriette

If you attach a .story it is easier to test our ideas.

My guess is you created this as a FREE FORM interaction, so the problem may be that the interaction itself is never correct because you have two possible targets for each correct drop.

The way I would approach this is to create  TRUE/FALSE question.

  1. Set the FALSE answer to Selected using a trigger when the timeline starts.
  2. Hide the TRUE/FALSE buttons under a shape that matches your background, rendering them invisible. 
  3. Add your drop objects with Drop Correct/Incorrect states. (TextBox1 & TextBox2)
  4. Add your drop targets. (TextBox6 & TextBox7)
  5. Your triggers look correct, but just to be clear:

    Set TextBox1 to Drop Correct when TextBox1 dropped on TextBox6 or 7
    Set TextBox2 to Drop Correct when TextBox1 dropped on TextBox6 or 7
    Set TextBox1 to Drop Incorrect when TextBox1 stops intersecting TextBox6 or 7
    Set TextBox2 to Drop Incorrect when TextBox1 stops intersecting TextBox6 or 7
    Set RadioButton1 (True) to Selected when state of TextBox6 & 7 are all Drop Correct
    (optional) Submit interaction True/False when state of RadioButton1 is Selected

    (optional) Set RadioButton2 (False) to Selected when TextBox1 stops intersecting TextBox6 or 7
    (optional) Set RadioButton2 (False) to Selected when TextBox2 stops intersecting TextBox6 or 7
