Drag and Drop Project
Aug 26, 2016
Happy Friday. I have a pretty good looking project utilizing the drag and drop feature. Where I am stuck is that I want to allow students to select from (slide 1)a list of 10 items to be either dropped into a waste, recycling or an organics bin. Once they have disposed of all of the selections successfully, I want them to proceed to slide 2 where there are 10 more items (but not the same - randomly selected from the master list of 100. I will have about 10 or more slides that have 10 random items for the students to be tested on. Any ideas?
Thanks very much!

Hi John!
So the question being how to do the list of random items?
I've not seen something like this set up before and hopefully someone in the community will be able to assist with this design.
Hi John,
Your question seemed interesting and challenging, and I wanted to try what I could do.
I prepared a drag and drop quiz for you. I hope it works for you.
There are just two slides and in the first one, you see the interactions. I didn't use any triggers for the second slide. If you create a question bank consisting of your questions, you can make the questions appear randomly.
Here is the demo: http://goo.gl/CQKzhG
I have attached the story file.
Looking forward to it thank you

Thank you for the the effort. I am excited to try it out

Hi Ridvan! Hopefully this will assist John. Your visual is helpful and is a standard functionality. I just envisioned that he needed all of those 'drop items' as a random master bank somewhere. Not the questions themselves - but I could have totally over-read into that :) Thanks for your assistance.
John - I hope that helps you on your way :)
Thanks Leslie for jumping in. Yes that is correct. There will be an instruction page that outlines the task at had and then subsequent pages will show a random sample (10) of images from the master library of 100. Each slide then will have the drag and drop functionality allowing the student to experience many different types of recycling options to learn from. Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Right - that's the part I hope someone can assist you with. Sounds like a cool idea though and you may want to share with our product development team here.
I am sorry that it didn't work out. We need some coding here, I suppose.
For anyone following along, looks like John asked his question here as well - just in case someone finds and responds to assist there.
Setting up ten random objects in different question bank slides is probably the easiest way to go about it.
Another method would involve some use of javascript and variables to make it more random.
It was suggested that I use question banks....not sure what they are but I will do some research and see if there is a fit there.
Thanks for replying
You can find detailed explanations about questions bank here. Understanding Question Banks
Thanks for sharing the tutorial Ridvan.
Here is another tutorial John, if helpful.
