Can I have multiple correct drag object/drop target combinations?
Hi guys...
I've got a similar issue with my drag/drop freeform. It seems to work ok if all the 'correct' answers are selected right off the bat, but if not, and a re-attempt is needed, it doesn't work as expected. Users' have to remove all drag items, when retrying the activity again, and then re-drag them to form the correct answer on retry. I've attached the question. Help!?!?!
I've had to use multiple states. I don't want to show the drop correct/incorrect until the user has selected the submit button, and then show which are correct/incorrect. That works lovely. Out of the 6 drag options, 4 are correct. On the try again layer, I reset those incorrect items to normal once they select the try again button. I want them to be able to see which options were correct, and which weren't. If I then reset the correct items to normal, then it loses this view.
I've added a number of triggers that work when I've used text based freeform, but seem to be problematic here.
Selecting the submit buttons changes the state of correct/try again/incorrect button based on what the selection is. The submit interaction is at the bottom of that chain. Then, each drag item is changed to drop correct (for the correct 4) or drop incorrect (for the incorrect 2) -- not sure if the last 2 is needed?!?
On correct layer, all 4 drag items turn 'correct' in state (colour).
On try again layer, the state of each drag item changes, dependent on whether it's an incorrect or correct response. the variable 'try again' is then set to true at the button of that chain. By selecting the try again button, the 2 incorrect drag items are set back to normal (though only change in colour, not spring back to their originated place). I did have triggers to reset the try again/incorrect button to normal, but that didn't make any difference.
Incorrect layer, changes the states as appropriate.
The base slide has been set to reset to initial state on revisit, this however, does not put the drag items back to their originating point. Not sure if I need this, or not, but useful to know how I do that, if that's possible.
I don't have a solution, but would like to add that I want to do something similar. Basically, I want a drag and drop where after they click submit, the correct answers stay where they are and incorrect answers reset to the original position.
