Drag and Drop

Hi Arun

You need to take a step back from it and not build it using the drag & drop question type.

Something like this needs to be a Pick One (or any other single select) question type and trigger the selection of your answer by tracking other actions on the slide.

Like this:

• Create 2 number variables: A & B
• Add 1 to the relevant variable when you drop an object on the correct target area
• Create two buttons "Correct" & "Incorrect" with the Incorrect button having an initial state of "Selected" (these can be moved off the slide if you don't want to see them)
• Set triggers to change the states of the "Correct" button to Selected when the variables change and equal 3 (you'll need two triggers for this one based on A and one on B)
• Make sure the buttons are in a button set so when the Correct button becomes selected the Incorrect deselects

You can use this technique to build any questions that don't fit into the default options, for example combining Fill in the Blank with Hotspot, or multiple Fill in the Blank fields on a single slide.

Hope that helps

Hi, Arun -- Helen appears to be assisting you here; please feel free to let us know if her suggestions will work for you, or if you still need additional assistance. :)

Hi Helen,

Thanks for your reply. I am implementing it today and also i have understood it clearly, Once again Thanks guys for your help.

Hi Helen,

Is it possible to do it in drag and drop method ?

Yes its Possible!

Hi Bhaskar,

Can you please tell me how to do it? Thanks in Advance

Please share your storyline file i will do for you!

Hi,

I have attached the Storyline file, Please check it

Hi Bhaskar,

I'm curious how you're doing this using the drag & drop question functionality and include the optional elements that Arun described.

It's very generous of you to help out Arun by offering to do it for him but a quick explanation will help the rest of us understand too.

Thanks

Helen

Happy to help, Arun

Hi Helen,

I have tried first three steps as you suggested but now struck in the 4th one can you help me plz?

I have attached the working story file.

Hi Ravindra! I'm sure that Helen is still subscribed, but if you need to reach out directly, you may do so via the 'Contact Me' option on her profile.

Thanks Leslie.

Hi Ravindra

Here's a picture of one of the triggers you need - it's the one highlighted in the trigger panel - but as you can see from the list of triggers you need separate triggers to change the state of the button based on each individual variable.

I've also added one or two extra triggers to help make the Incorrect selection work effectively too, so I've attached the file for you to take a look at

Helen

Thank you so much Helen. But Can we also use this way to only 2 drag item and 4 drop targets? In my story file Even or odd should be dropped on the each object i.e. 2, 4, 5 and 7

Hi Ravindra

Yes, you can use this technique to work with any number of items and targets, you just need to adjust the numbers that you are using in the conditions, i.e. "if variable = 2"

However the situation you describe where you want to label Odd & Even I'd switch the drag items and drop targets so you are moving the numbers, not the labels.

If however you want to keep it this way round I'd use the following technique:

• Create 4 True/False variables, names 2,4,5 and 7 respectively, each with a starting value of false
• Adjust variable "2" to True if "Even" is dropped on shape "2", repeating for each shape and it's appropriate label
• Adjust variable to False if "Even" is dropped on shape "5" etc
• Add two buttons: "Correct" & "Incorrect", add to a button set (or add 2 radio buttons labeled "Correct" & "Incorrect") which are off the slide
• Set initial state of "Incorrect" button to selected
• Change state of "Correct" button to selected when variable 2 changes if 2,4,5,& 7 are True and repeat for each variable change

Hope that helps

Helen

Thanks Helen, I will try this one.

Thanks Helen, Ravindra Gardi for all your help. 

Yes! Thanks all :)
