Drag drop activities consist of one or more pairs of drag item elements and drop area elements, a check answer button, and a feedback element. A drag item is considered correct when dropped on a drop area that shares its index.
To insert a drag drop activity, use Interactions > Drag Drop. The drag drop activity can be inserted in its default design, for full customization, or as an interactive set.
Usually, drag items and drop areas go in pairs. To add such a pair, use Drag Drop > Add Drag Drop Pair. However, each “pair” can have any number of drag items or drop areas.
To add a drag item to an existing pair, select an element of the pair and use Drag Drop > Add Drag Item to Pair. To add a drop area to an existing pair, select an element of the pair and use Drag Drop > Add Drop Area to Pair.
Dummy drag items and drop areas are ones which have an index of none. Such dummy items aren’t involved in the score calculation of the activity. To add a dummy drag item, use Drag Drop > Add Dummy Drag Item. To add a dummy drop area, use Drag Drop > Add Dummy Drop Area.
