Drag and Drop without any correct answers or feedback

Jun 22, 2021

I am creating an activity with many drag items and no correct answers, as a way for learners to reflect on how they respond in a certain situations.

My three drag targets would be Always, Sometimes, Never. These would be hotspots and I would like the answers to be tiled underneath. There would be no right or wrong answer. I would like storyline to reveal the drag items one at a time and users to drag the item to the appropriate box for them.

How can I do this? The drag and drop freeform interaction doesn't allow you to not have a right/wrong answer. I don't need any feedback as it's just a reflection activity to get people thinking at the start of the e-learning. Thank you in advance.

Just use the freeform drag n drop without submitting the interaction.

To expand on what Nejc said:

Go to the Slide Properties.
Deselect the Submit button. This will delete the associated trigger that submits the interaction.
Select the Prev and Next buttons.

The Correct and Incorrect layers won't be shown without the submit-interaction trigger. But I suggest deleting them to avoid confusion.

That's it! The draggable objects and target will work as per your specs, but without scoring anything as right or wrong.

In the form view, what do I set as my drop target? I want my learners to sort statements in a venn diagram with no correct answers. I've set up a freeform drag and drop, and removed the submit button, but in slide preview my text box is not draggable.

I would put a hotspot in the centre of the diagram and set that as a drop target. I would also set the drop items to align to "Tile" in the Options.
