Drag and Drop with multiple correct targets and partial scoring
Apr 01, 2020

So, I needed to allow users to drop the correct items onto the drop targets without an order. I also needed to award partial credit for each drop correct. By looking at a couple similar threads from the community I was able to create a relatively simple solution for both using the pick 1 freeform.
Each object has a trigger for drop correct or drop incorrect and a trigger adding 1 to an overall variable whenever a drop correct occurs. The buttons off screen are triggered to be selected based on the variable, and the different buttons are given scoring values in the form view.
Anyway, here's the sample, it's one question from a larger test. I removed the correct/incorrect layer in the actual test.

Hi Kyle!
Wow, this is an impressive build!
It's so helpful to see how this can be done with a variety of techniques!
Thanks Lauren!
I've only been doing articulate for about 1 year but have been doing a lot of it during that year.
I found some issues in my own project above and have some work-arounds if people see this thread. I ended up realizing that you can drop more than one object per drop target since it's not an actual drag and drop activity.
To get around this I had to make the drop targets go hidden when any object is dropped on it and create a "reset" activity button that jumps to the original slide. That requires the slide to be set to "reset to initial state" but that makes it display as incorrect during review. I decided to include a Print button that I relabeled as review because the printed results show the original inputs.
Thanks,
Kyle
Hi Kyle
Does this method allows to have limited attemps to answer? I want the students to have only three attempts and if they not succeed they'll have to read the content of the course again. Is it possible?
Thank you
Hi Elisa,
I set my overall quiz up to allow for a retry but you could accomplish it for the question with a variable.
The only downside is with the partial credit you'd probably have to take their 3rd answer no matter what. There wouldn't really be an option to "Keep highest score" for example.
Kyle:
That was very clever. Thank you so much for your help.
