Matching Drop Down Quiz with only 2 answers
Hi all,
I am trying to build a matching drop down quiz where items can have the same answer. For example there are 8 statements in the left column (to match) and I want the learner to to select Renewable or Nonrenewable. Preferably they would only see each matching option once, but could select it multiple times. Is there a way to do this?
Hi e-LearningID,
Great question! I understand that you'd like to create a question with one of two answers for eight statements. I'd be happy to work with you to figure that out!
After trying to build the question based on your description, a figured out that a matching drop-down question wouldn't be the best way to get this done. I was able to build the question using a freeform matching drag-and-drop question. I attached a Story file that I downloaded from a template and modified it to fix your eight-statement format.
With this question design, the statements are in the left column, the drop targets are in the right column, and the answers will appear in the rectangle above.
I hope this helps you out!
Drag and drop would not work simply because of accessibility issues. We MUST meet 508 accessibility standards.
I started this project for it.
This is how I would do it.there may be more glamorous ways (like a drop-down), but they involve a lot more work.
Is the way you did it 508 Accessible?
You should be able to tab through the items (you may want to modify the sequence, or which ones appear) and select the answer with the space bar.
