Drag and Drop and Data Entry Freeform Quiz?

Hi Katie

if you are trying to combine interaction types you might be better using the Pick One freeform and controlling with triggers.  Need more information from you how it should work.

Hi Daniel and Wendy,

Thanks! I'm attaching a slide. I would really like to have the drop states delayed until the learner selects submit - can I do that with a pick one freeform? 

I don't have the data entry boxes in yet; they will replace the numbers on the right side of the slide.

Hi Katie

just so I'm clear - I drag the index numbers to their correct spot but then do I have to enter the number into the TE field or will that be automatic?

Yes, you'll enter the numbers on the right hand column (they are there in the example, didn't get that far).

Hi Katie

Set up a pick one using two offstage buttons (they are onstage at the moment for testing) correct and incorrect which are used in the form view to identify the correct response.  

I've added one numerical entry field for '6' to test so you'd need to add the other DE fields and then add them into the conditions of the trigger.

I also deleted the drop correct/drop incorrect built-in states and created custom correct/incorrect states.

i created 6 T/F variables one for each index that are also used in the triggers.

Hope this helps or gives you an idea.  

The way it works the feedback layer will display when you click Submit and covers the screen which is showing the answer - you may want to reformat the Correct layer so it isn't sitting in the middle of the screen but that is your call.

PS. I may have changed some of the text box formatting when I duplicated the screen (sorry)

Thank you, Wendy!

This was PERFECT! I greatly appreciate your willingness to help out; I'm sure others in this community will be able to use your amazing solution, too!

Take care and again, THANK YOU!

Katie

Glad to help Katie and that it will work for you.

Hi Wendy! 

I hope you're having a great Tuesday. 

Would this same process work for hotspots and NO data/text entry? I.E.: learners have to click on areas of the sentence that are incorrect and the state would be delayed until they submit the interaction? 

Hi Katie

the hotspot interaction can be fiddly - we'd need to test out exactly what you're trying to achieve - can you share the slide with the interaction your referring to and note the correct and incorrect answers.

Hi Wendy,

It's attached. So for this example, the students need to select the "smashing pumpkins" and all the "is" words. 

I'd like the state to be delayed until the user submits the interaction. It will have two attempts.

Hi Katie

see attached.

I created 'selected' states for all of the 'hotspot' objects to use in the triggers as we need to be selecting something to register for the correct answer. I have them formatted with a faint orange border so the user can tell they have actually clicked on something. This does give the hand cursor when they hover over so is a give away - you may need to have hotspot distractors over all words so that whereever they hover the hand cursor displays but they still have to click on the 'correct' answers.  I haven't done this step.

At the moment if they click on the four objects you noted above they get the correct feedback layer - anything else they get the incorrect feedback layer.

Let me know if you need more help.

Wow, Wendy! You're AWESOME! So helpful!

For the hotspot distractors, would they have the same states as the correct hotspots?

Hi Katie

Yes you would need same states 

Ah and sorry -  one thing I noticed I didn't do on your file was to change the state of the selected areas to 'correct' after the user clicked the submit button and the feedback layer displayed.  Is this still something you want - we'd need to tweak the triggers.

Yes, please!

Ok...you add in the distractor hotspots and then upload the latest file and I'll play with it for you.

Attached with distractor states.

Hi Katie

see updated file - I renamed the hotspots so it was easier to recognise them for the triggers.

Hope that works for you 

Thank you, Wendy!

Follow-up question:

I have a slide (attached) that has many more hotspots and distractor hotspots. Can you explain the logic? 

1. All hotspots need to have a trigger to change the state of hotspot to selected when user clicks the hotspot.
2. Then, we change the state of the correct button (off stage) to selected when user clicks the submit button if
   1. All the correct hotspots states are equal to selected?
   2. All hotspots (correct and distractors) are equal to selected?

How do I tell what's incorrect/correct?

I think I understand the logic after testing it out. 

Thanks, WendY!

Glad to hear you are sorted Katie - good luck :-)

Hi Wendy, I hope you're still subscribed.

I've run into an issue; if I select the correct rectangle AND another one (incorrect), it's still marking it as correct! I just caught this. Is there a condition I can put on either of the buttons?

Hi Katie! I took a look, and I didn't see the "correct" layer appear when I selected an incorrect answer. Could you share a Peek screen recording that shows the incorrect rectangles you clicked to make the "correct" layer appear?

Hi Katie 

like Alyssa I am not getting that behaviour - can you give me the example you are testing so I can check it for you.
