I am using the matching drag and drop and there are four terms and definitions. In the "edit matching drag and drop" I see score by question, but I assume that is the total - so they would get 10 points if correct and 0 if they even get one wrong? Is there any way to give them partial credit - like if they get 2 out of the 4 matches correct? Thank you!!

Hi Kristen, You're correct in the default Storyline drag and drop interactions are limited to some degree. There is a way to handle what you're wanting to do with a little variable finesse. Start with a blank slide and build all your assets first (objects). Assign which ones will be drag items and which ones will be their drop targets by naming them in the Timeline. i.e. Drag 1, Drag 2, etc. and Drop 1, Drop 2, etc. Naming them in the Timeline will help later when you set up the interaction and assign variables. Next, create a set of numeric variables for the Drag items with the same names: Drag1, Drag2, etc. Set their initial values to 0. Finally, create one last variable for Total with an initial value of 0. Now, convert your slide to Freeform Drag and Drop. The default dialog box will appear and simply set which Drag item belongs to which Drop target. Make any other adjustments you need and Save and Close. Now the fun part. For each drag item that gets dropped on a "correct" target add a trigger: Adjust Variable [Drag1] to =Assignment 1.00 when the user Drops Object On [Drop1]. Do the same for each Drag item. Finally, on each of the feedback layers add your variable text box for Total - %Total%. Add triggers for when the Timeline Starts on that layer: Adjust Variable "Total" +Add "Drag1" when Timeline Starts. Okay, I may have missed something just firing from thought, but I believe the above structure will get you going in the right direction. There is so much more you can build off that structure, too like visual check marks and red Xs to visually show the actual correct and incorrect choices. Just use the same variables to change the states of other objects. Hope that help!

Prompted by this same question by someone else I just had a quick go at this and came up with one way to make this work. Basically I created a MC question which can easily be scored by answer. Then I used a variable to keep track of how many correct items that are dropped on the target. Finally, I added some slide triggers to select the appropriate answer from the MC question objects. As you can see I used an image over top of the MC question objects so they can't be seen nor interacted with. This allows you to report the correct scoring via the results page without any scripting, etc etc. Also note that I haven't included any logic to account for removing items after they've been dropped on the target or other similar "error handling" I've attached my quick & dirty example.

Hi Kevin and Kristin, Tx for the question, and the answer. Directions were spot on Kevin. I'm attaching a sample here in case Kristin or anyone wants to take a look. Also, though, I have a question: The total points are not, by default, picked up by the Results Slide. I know how to "get them there," and I have, for the attached (in red on the Results Slide). But, would they be picked up by an LMS? And what about the percent score? More triggers and variables, eh?

Hi, I am having the same requirement. The scoring should be based on the correct responses and not for the entire question of Drag-n-Drop. I have implemented the following workaround and it is working fine.In story.html file, ResizeBrowser(g_strBrowserSize);var player = GetPlayer() <In lms/SCORMFunctions.js (SCORM 1.2)function SCORM_SetScore(intScore, intMaxScore, intMinScore){ intScore = parent.scormdriver_content.player.GetVar("MyScore") < thanks,Shailesh

Hey Rebecca, Your example didn't alter the results rather you added another level of detail to the existing scoring mechanism. If you run your example and get them all correct, the results slide shows your 10 points along with the breakdown of each choice - plus, the default Results.ScorePoints. Results.ScorePoints is a default variable that's added to your variable library when you inserted a Results slide. If you were to add a second Results slide to your example, another variable would be created as: Results1.ScorePoints When you publish to LMS or AO, and set the Scoring and Tracking option to track against a Results Slide rather than minimum number of slides viewed, SCORM picks up these variables and sends to the LMS: - Results.ScorePoints - Results.ScorePercent - Results.PassPoints - Results.PassPercent All of the above are dependent on whether the LMS accepts them however. IN short, no you don't have to do anything additional for that example to work on an LMS. I say that, but as sure as just wrote that it won't work. Pretty sure it's fine though. What you *could* do is use that default variable and tie it in with your other scoring. First, go into the edit mode of the interaction and make sure there are no weighted points associated with Correct or Incorrect. Then, do the same triggers and logic to add your choice points to "Total" but instead add them to the existing "Results.ScorePoints" variable. Example on your Correct feedback layer: "Add Almond to Results.ScorePoints when Timeline starts."

Is there a way to score each individual match of a drag and drop?

TinCan tracking of PARTIAL quiz scores?

Now here comes the really exciting part of this discussion topic:

What if one wants to track not only the total quiz score but a learner's performance per quiz question with PARTIAL grading for Multiple Response and Drag-and-Drop questions (count "some correct" when user submits 3 out of 6 correct responses of a single quiz question).

Set-up = Storyline 1 with TinCan v0.9

The partial scores of each quiz question have to be published for LMS and sent to SCORM Cloud as LRS.

Any work-arounds, anyone? Thank you!!

This was an amazing thread to find -- I think (hope) I've got my prototype working according to the final recommendation and download from Rebecca. Thank you!

However, I've run into a bit of an aesthetic/clarity issue now due to losing control over drag/drop snap to target settings. If anyone feels like taking a stab at a solution, I started a thread here:

  hi Leslie, Many thanks for your response. I think I fixed it - I followed my hunch to add a trigger for each drag item on the timeline and it worked. By adding some surrounding text around the %Total% display I managed to get it to display the number correct. It now shows - 'You scored %Total% out of 8' ) . Feeling happy!

So, I needed to allow users to drop the correct items onto the drop targets without an order. I also needed to award partial credit for each drop correct. By looking at this thread plus another I was able to create a relatively simple solution for both using the pick 1 freeform.

Each object has a trigger for drop correct or drop incorrect and a trigger adding 1 to an overall variable whenever a drop correct occurs. The buttons off screen are triggered to be selected based on the variable, and the different buttons are given scoring values in the form view.

Anyway, here's the sample, it's one question from a larger test. I removed the correct/incorrect layer in the actual test.

This has been a great thread; and I feel SO close to solving my issue! But I'm trying to compile an overall score using three Drag & Drops that I've built to track Partial Scores using Mike Taylor's example (Multiple Choice hiding behind Drag & Drops).

I'm pulling my hair out because even though the Results page sees the updated Variable "Partial" accurately, it only counts the first slide's score in the Your Score result.

%Partial% shows 12, which is correct; but Your Score only shows 5 points, and the review shows slides 2 and 3 as Incorrect.

If anyone could tackle this, it would save my week!

You are so close, Rick. I appreciate you sharing your file so that I could take a look.

It's easier to explain as a demo, so I recorded a quick Peek 360 video as I took a look at your project.

The file I used is attached.

  Hey Leslie,
  
  I must be dense, but how do you create a slide which has both multiple choice and drag & drop?

    Hi PJ,
    
    It would be a decent amount of work but you could use the pick 1 free form option from my example a few posts above this one. You could manually create multiple choice text boxes and check boxes with triggers that added to the partial point variable... assuming you wanted it scored.
    
    You could use half the screen for the drag and drop and half the screen for the multiple choice but one master variable for scoring.
    
    Thanks,
