effective drag/drop - lectora x.5?

I've been getting a lot of requests for drag/drop interactions lately and I've yet to find a really good way to make them work.


Example from recently, from group of items, drag the 3 that apply correctly to the question.


I was able to build the question out easily enough, but because each drag item must be dropped in a specific space, if the 3 items are placed in the correct screen area, but on the wrong drop spot, the question is wrong.


What I'd like to do is essentially have a drop 'bucket.' A large area as the target and dropping anywhere on the target would be 'correct.' If this is possible I can't figure out how.



Any suggestions?

We use JQuery UI to build this (essentially, we add drag and drop functionality to Lectora objects, so like 90% of the exercise can be manipulated in Lectora by people with zero scripting skills).


Check out these examples, all possible to replicate with Lectora: http://jqueryui.com/droppable/#photo-manager
