Multiple Drag Placement Drop Zones
Hi everyone,
I have been asked if I can produce a drag and drop question that allows for one or more drag items to be placed into one or more drop zones to equal correct.
This is easily done if, for example the question stem is written in a way to allow for a dual drag item e.g.:
Which colours are associated with Summer and Autumn?
Blue and Green
Green and Gold
Red and Green
Blue and Brown
But if the question has to be written in the singular, although this looks straight forward enough, is there a way to achieve this without achieving an incorrect answer if, for example, the student places the first correct colour into another drop zone? e.g. the answer here is:
Summer = Blue | Brown | Green
Autumn = Blue | Brown | Gold
and the student places the first Summer 'Brown' or 'Blue' into the Autumn 'Brown' or 'Blue' zone, is there a work around to allow for this? (Singular example below
Place the associated colours next to the seasons.
Drop zone 1: Summer Drop zone 2: Autumn
Drag items: Blue | Brown | Red | Green | Gold | Blue | Brown | Red | Green| Gold

@David, try changing the fill of your four drop targets from No Fill to Solid Fill (some color) 100% Transparency.

Thanks Michael. That worked - but also, I had not added an OR variable for one, but had it as an AND instead. Now all fixed

Hi Michael and David,
Michael, tx for jumping in on this. It's been crazy busy and difficult to find some time to jump in here.
David, glad it's all fixed.

Thanks Rebecca

Hi Katherine,
It may help if you're able to share that one slide here with us so that we could take a look at how the triggers and elements are set up. You can add it using the "add attachment" button and you may want to include just that one slide here as the forums have around a 20 mb upload limit. You can import that one slide into a new project as described here.

I was able to figure it out by right clicking and unchecking drag return.
Thanks for the update Katherine and I'm happy to hear you were able to figure it out.
