Drag and Drop Quiz Question

Apr 16, 2013

I have been working on a drag and drop quiz question where the user drags all the correct terms from a word bank into a specified box. When I publish the course, the question is marked wrong if the user moves any of the wrong terms at all (Even if they do not put the wrong term in the box). Is there a way to fix this so that as long as all the correct terms are in the specified box the user gets the question correct?

Thank you!

Hi Angela, welcome to the community!

Sounds like you'll want to make a quick change to your Drag and Drop settings:

  • Delay item drop states until interaction is submitted:  If you use different Drop Correct and Drop Incorrect states for drag items, you may not want these state changes to appear until after users submit the question.  Otherwise, users will know whether they got the question right or wrong even before they click the Submit button.  To delay the drop states from appearing until after users submit the question, select this checkbox.  If, however, you would prefer to give users immediate feedback upon dropping items onto targets, do not mark this checkbox.  (To learn more about states, take a look at this tutorial.)

Let us know if that's it...
