Drag each container to the culture slide and add the correct amount of drops to stain the bacteria. This lab-themed example lets learners practice completing a detailed process. View this project in action.
Hi everyone! unfortunately, I never had the time to finish the course, so It goes all the way to the acetone alcohol, but I'll have as a task to finish it and post it here
I've done something similar in the past, but not as complex as the back (*and forth*) done in this fantastic example. If I was coding it, I would place two transparent shapes (thin, vertical rectangles) far enough apart (I was testing out the shake distance - I got curious too), each rectangle adjusting a triggered variable: "set 'shake_left' to 'true' when object mouses over 'target_rectangle_L'" - and repeat the coding for the right. The next step/slide would be activated when both 'shake_left' and 'shake_right' were equal to "true". I'm not sure if that's exactly how he did it, but it's a way to get the effect done.
This was a great interactive!
Similarly, I wonder if you could do a narrow hotspot in the middle and add 1 to a counter when the "shake" object stops intersecting with the hotspot. Then the slide could progress when the counter reaches a certain number of "shakes".
Never tried it, but I'm tempted to now!
Armando - that is THE best use of drag & drop I've seen. Brilliant. However, it's a bit clever for me. Would you be prepared to share the Storyline file so I can see how you did certain parts?
Great work. also curious about some parts like the shake part ant how you had an item dragged twice for the correct answer. Would love if you shared the story file.
I worked in a Microbiology lab for years and this interaction is as close to the real process as I can imagine. What a great way to provide learner readiness for the real task! Great job!!!
