Reset Drag-and-Drop Incorrect Choices w/ Motion Paths in Articulate Storyline 360

Hi, Jerry, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨

Thank you for sharing your .story file!

I made a few changes, and the file seems to be working now. Here's a recap of what I did:

• On your Try Again layer, I disabled the triggers that return the correct objects when drop incorrect because those will never be incorrect. 

• I changed the When revisiting property to Resume saved state.
• On your second slide, since there are many correct answers, I changed the Drag and Drop options to Tile for the Snap dropped items dropdown. I did this because it seemed like the position of the objects was affecting the results. 

I am attaching the edited file here. Let me know if this works for you!

Hi Maria,

Thanks for helping me with this. I find that Drop Target Options>Snap dropped items to drop target>Tile works best for both slides. Yes, setting it to Free seems to cause some issues.

The one weird thing that happens often when I have it set to this, as opposed to "Free" (the other option don't work because the text is obscured in the answers), is that when users drag an item over to the table hotspot while in the Try Again attempt, often two or more other items will inexplicably move with it over to the table. If the user moves the wrong items back and puts all the right items then it will return Correct feedback. Yet, that will probably confuse most users.

It's very frustrating. It's just a knowledge check, so I thinking that one attempt will be fine until I can find some other technique for moving/resetting incorrect answers.

I'm also have problems with how the text animations are working when I publish the emodule to Review. Paragraphs will animate in broken chunks, or not at all. That's for another discussion.

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi Jerry!

Could you provide more details about the text animations? I don't see a similar report regarding issues with paragraphs in Review 360. Do you see this with every project in Review 360? Also, have you tried using a different browser to see if the same behavior occurs?

Hello, 

I've tried using a different browser and the same issues occur. Still spinning my wheels on this one. I did manage to get a less objectionable version. The only way this works so that you get a correct response on a second attempt is the set the Drop Target Options > Snap dropped items to drop target > Tile. But I still have another issue.

I have it so that after hitting the submit button on the first attempt, the wrong answers snap back to their original position, but on the second attempt when you drag any of the objects to the Hot Spot, the previous wrong answers snap back to the Hot Spot. Very strange. If you drag those wrong answers off the Hot Spot and drag the right answers, you will get a Correct response. I'm guessing that something is going on with the triggers. Not sure. Still messing around with it.

Thanks

Here is the troublesome drag and drop interaction.

Thanks!

Yes, that the problem on my end, too. 

How would I trigger the change of state? When the user hits the Try Again button?

Thanks!

I've tried several different things to keep those objects from snapping back to the table, but nothing seems to work. I've even tried changing the state of the objects to Hidden, but the still snap back, just Hidden. 

Any ideas?

Hi Jerry,

Thank you for keeping us updated on your testing. I was able to see the issue you described above as well, and it is a bug that we have reported to our team specific to the drag items acting erratically in succeeding attempts if the drag items have motion paths.

The listed workaround is to set the drag options to snap to the center or free, which of course, causes the overlapping in your project that you were hoping to avoid with the tile setting.

I've added this conversation to our report so that we can share any updates with you here.

Hi Leslie,

When setting the Drop Target Options to "Free" or "Snap to Center" the drag and drop interactions never returns a Correct response after a second attempt, even when the user drags the correct items to the table. If I could get "Free" to return a Correct response after the second attempt I would use that, but not Snap to Center. I want the user to see the responses on the Table. 

Thanks,
Jerry

Thanks, Jerry.

I cannot replicate the behavior in a standard drag and drop. It seems to be specific to the customization of your Try Again layer to move the incorrect items back.
