Drag and Drop Matching quiz - how to show which options are correct and incorrect selections?
Hi all,
I'm using SL 360 and have added a built-in matching drag and drop. This is just a check your knowledge kind of question and therefore, no results slide. There are 2 attempts with custom feedback for each attempt. When learner gets it incorrect, I want to be able to show which of their selected options are correct and incorrect - so they don't have to try the correct ones again (on the first attempt, I mean).
1) Can this be done? If yes, how?
2) If it can't be done, would restricting to 2 attempts and showing correct options as part of feedback on the 2nd attempt - be a sensible approach?
Thanks!

Hi Prathiba,
Sounds like a cool set up!
Keep in mind that each re-attempt of a question, the slide won't be reset on a drag and drop to allow a user to see how they previously answered. Since a matching drag and drop doesn't have states associated with each drag item, there isn't a built-in way to accomplish #1. (If you used a custom freeform drag/drop - you could assign a correct/incorrect state to each item).
It sounds like #2 is the best approach - you may want to look at displaying this as an additional image on your feedback slide as you can't change the state/location of the items based solely on viewing a layer.
If you're unsure of next steps, share your .story file here! That's a great way to have folks in the community weigh in on your design and set up!

Thank you Ashley and Prathiba. Even though this is an old thread, I had the same question. Thanks for answering it. Ashley, do you know if anyone posted a template for a custom freeform drag/drop - with assigned correct/incorrect state to each item? Thanks

Hi, Brandan.
I'm glad to hear an older discussion helped you. That's the beauty of this community!
When using the freeform Drag and Drop, the built-in states will do all the work for you. Just make sure you have the Delay Feedback option unchecked in the Drag and Drop Options:

You can then add states to your object for Drop Correct and Drop Incorrect. The way you design those states is what the user will see as feedback. For example:

Or:

The result:

I hope this helps!
