Hi, I am creating a drag and drop interaction where the learner picks the elements they want to add. At the end of the module, I want to be able to recall or show their picks. I think I can set a variable for this, but not sure how. Please advise.
I'm just starting to create the drag and drop - so don't have a lot to show. I wanted to be sure that what I'm trying to do is possible before I create it.
Essentially, the learner is creating a list of things they want to incorporate in their "to do" list. They will drag and drop the elements important to them onto a clip board. They will be doing this type of selecting throughout the module. I'd like to be able to show them a complete list of their choices at the end of the module . Make sense?
Ahh - I see. So you want to pull in responses from multiple Drag-and-Drop interactions, correct?
You can definitely do this, it's just a matter of how time consuming this may be for you and just how many you want to show/how many they have to choose from.
You could probably do this with a few variables and states, as I mentioned earlier. But I think the key here is how you want to display it. For example, I see maybe sections on the slide that show what the user chose from each list, but you may envision this differently.
Stephanie, here is a quick sample of how this might work, see attached file and here is the published version. Each of the two drag-and-drop interactions I set up for this sample, uses the Drop Correct states for each item to set a variable. In the summary screen, I use these variables and custom states to highlight the choices. I'm sure your solution will be completely different, but it may give you some ideas on how to get started.

Hi there Stephanie,
Are you wanting to show this on a custom slide and simply show what objects they got correct, or just display what objects they dropped on a target?
You could probably do this with some states and variables.
Do you have something set up already? I'd be happy to take a look at the .STORY file and see if I can give some suggestions.
Thanks!
