I have a drag and drop quiz with 95 drag options that are then added to a chart. This is all working beautifully and tiling onto the chart very nicely, but if I want to randomize the order that the 95 options appear in (on the drag sequence menu) then I have to manually drag them around to make them appear randomized. Has anyone ever incorporated javascript to make drag options appear in random order if they are appearing one by one? Apologies if this is unclear or not allowed to ask.Using Sliders for Accessible Drag-and-Drop Interactions #569
Drag-and-drop is one of the most flexible features in Storyline. With freeform drag-and-drop, you can use images, text, shapes, and graphics to build almost any interaction you can dream up. There's one catch, though: drag-and-drops aren't fully keyboard accessible yet. That can leave some learners out when you want everyone to take part. If your interaction only needs to move in one direction (side to side or up and down), there's another object that works beautifully: the slider. Sliders for Drag-And-Drop Interactions? Most of us reach for sliders to compare values, explore data, or add quick microinteractions. But with a little customization, they can power drag-and-drop-style interactions that work with a keyboard and keep movement locked to the X or Y axis. Aman shows just how well this works in his typography example. View the example The first time I saw it, I thought, "Wait, how'd he do that?" The trick is surprisingly simple when you understand how sliders work. Aman swapped the standard slider thumb for a letter graphic. Now learners can move that letter left and right or up and down, just like they would in a drag interaction. And because sliders are tied to variables, you can make things happen when the values change. That makes sliders a great fit for typography concepts like kerning and leading, where learners need to move an object in only one direction. With a little customization, a slider can measure distance, set an object's position, or step through a sequence. It can even stand in for drag-and-drop, and that's exactly what this week's challenge is all about! 🏆 Challenge of the Week This week, your e-learning challenge is to share an example that shows how you can use sliders to build drag-and-drop-style interactions. Go beyond traditional number scales and use sliders to explore concepts like distance, position, sequence, intensity, or other relationships that benefit from hands-on movement. 🙌 Share Your Work You put in the effort. Now make sure your work gets seen: Personal blog: If you have a blog, write about your example from this week's challenge and share the link with your submission.

Hi all! Hoping someone here has needed to do this before and has an idea! I have a drag and drop slide that I want all the drag options to be on screen at the same time (not appear one at a time as we often do for slides where space is an issue). The slide is intended to get the reader to engage better with the content and review the strategies explained a couple of slides back. Now the challenge I have is space and position...want to keep button bottom right as this is where it best fits on the other interactive slides. So I want to have the submit button and hidden and change it to "normal" when all the drag items have been dropped whether they are correct or not. There could be so many combinations, I can't work out a simple and logical way to get a trigger to work for that. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. JessicaTSA Dishes on Thanksgiving Food
Almost all of the script is from the TSA.gov site about Thanksgiving food 😁 Every eLearning challenge helps me learn more about creating prompts for consistent images and videos. It's easier to be consistent with images created by Gemini AI because I can say "Keep everything the same and..." add, remove, etc. Unfortunately, I can't do that with Gemini AI videos 😢 I wanted to use the same TSA agent for the entire course but Gemini AI had other plans, so I leaned into it, using a different agent for each sentence or phrase. Another challenge: Gemini AI limits videos to 8 seconds and only three a day (what do you want for free?). I did use Articulate AI for some narration and images. And, I referred back to the tutorial "5 Ways to Customize Drag-and-Drop Interactions" to get just the right drag-and-drop interaction for the review. Enjoy! TSA Dishes on Thanksgiving Food
