Interactive markers

Oct 24, 2013

I am trying to put a large amount of content into a drag and drop interaction with multiple stages of feedback.

I have the layout and grading of the slide all sorted out using variables, hotspots etc. However I've hit a snag, I have opted to use markers for the hidden information capability but whenever I make the marker "drag-able" the caption stays in the original position which isn't good from a learner perspective because the content ends up in the wrong place.

Has anyone run into this before?

Regards,

Andy

I don't think markers were ever intended to be dragged, they are invisible in the drag and drop freeform question, i think the bug here is that the marker can be selected with a drag trigger

Hi there,

I'm not using a free form interaction, I have used variables to create my own, as it doesn't need to retain the score it just works better because there is more than 1 correct outcome which the freeform interaction (as good as it is) doesn't allow.

Exactly, I don't believe markers were ever intended to be allowed to be draggable, which is why you are seeing a bug,

So there's no possible workaround for this?

Is there any way of having an object with a rollover (similar to a marker) that will display next to an object regardless of where the object is dragged?

So a kind of grouping relationship of 2 items with different state requirements?
