Reset Drag-and-Drop Incorrect Choices w/ Motion Paths in Articulate Storyline 360

Hi, Jerry. 

Let's go back to the drawing board on this! Here's a suggestion that might be a good workaround for you: instead of using the Drag and Drop freeform question, let's use Pick one. 

The idea is, we'll tell Storyline to pick Correct (which is the green oval to the left of the slide view) if the objects are in the correct targets and Incorrect (the red oval) if that's not the case.

We will also use five hotspots instead of one, so we can have the object snap to center, and it will work like the Tile option under Drag and Drop.

Feel free to add more hotspots if you'd like to allow the user to drop additional objects.

The Try Again layer will have the same triggers you had previously, connecting the incorrect objects to the Motion Paths. 

Finally, I created four True/False variables (representing each of the four correct objects, and they turn True when the objects are dropped on the hotspots). I did this to delay the drop correct state (turning the textbox green) until the submit button is clicked.

The explanation might make more sense when you take a look at the attached .story file.

Let me know if you have additional questions!

Hi Maria,

Unfortunately this doesn't work either. Don't know why I didn't see this a couple weeks ago, but when you drag and drop all the correct answers, and some of the incorrect answers, the user still gets a Correct response. Any way we can get it to give us an Incorrect response if the user drags incorrect answers along with correct ones?

Thanks,
Jerry

Hi, Jerry.

I'm glad you made a few different tests that I might have missed! 

Since we're creating a drag-and-drop interaction with delayed feedback from a Pick one freeform, I had to add a few additional triggers:

• When the user clicks submit, we have to set at least one item as Drop Incorrect if any incorrect ones are dropped in the hotspot. It doesn't matter which one since it will be incorrect as long as any item is in the Drop Incorrect state. 

• I also added triggers to change the state of the incorrect items back to Normal once the user clicks Try Again. 

I believe it's fully working now, but please test different scenarios to ensure it's all working as expected.

Hi Maria,

Almost there. In my emodule I have two Knowledge checks that use this interaction. We got the first one working, but the second one (Boxing Table Knowledge Check) still has the issue - I drag all the correct answers, and one or more incorrect answers, I still get a Correct response. I used the same technique as the first one (the Cartridge Table Knowledge Check) I believe I must have missed something. Can you take a look?

Thanks
Jerry

Hi, Jerry!

I'm so happy you're getting close!

On the second slide, you only need to make two minor changes:

The trigger Change the state of Oval 2 to selected should be when the state of at least one of the items is in Drop Incorrect (instead of all of the items).

And;

Change the state of Oval 1 to selected should be when the state of all of the items is in Drop Correct (instead of at least one).

Just switch "at least one" and "all of the items" around on those triggers, and it should work as expected!

Thank you Maria! That did it. You are a genius. 

Have a good day.

Jerry

Jerry,

I am definitely not a genius, but you just made my day! 😊

Thank you, and have a great day as well!
