Drag and Drop Ordering Interaction
The drag and drop ordering interaction is a flexible drag and drop interaction that can be used in two ways. This interaction is essentially about the user ordering items that have to be placed in a specific order. This interaction is quite flexible in that you can choose to have static items on the right with draggable items on the left, so the user is given some help or a prompt, or you can simply have all draggable items on the left with no static items on the right.
A drag and drop ordering interaction looks as follows:
Completing a Drag and Drop Ordering Interaction Form
- Decide if the interaction is to be marked or not and check the check box at the top of the form if it is to be marked
Note: If the interaction is marked, the user's score will be saved if the courseware is being used in a virtual learning environment. The user will not be able to repeat the interaction as it will be disabled after the first attempt. The user is given one opportunity to complete marked activities.
- Enter interaction instructions.
- Then add items one by one in the order that you want the user to recreate them.
- Add new items by selecting 'Add New Item'
When adding an item, you will see a check box above the item asking 'Can this item be dragged'.
- Select the check box if you want the item to be a draggable item
- Do not select the item if you want that particular item to be a static item on the right.
- Remove an item by selecting 'Remove Item'.
- Decide how many attempts you want the user to have. Use the dropdown menu at the bottom of the form to make your selection.
- Save or cancel your entries using the on screen buttons
