Forcing a Drag and Drop
June 25, 2009 12:00 AM
This may not match your requirement exactly, but I think that what I do is a better solution, from an instructional-design perspective...
I use SnagIt to take a capture of a correctly solved drag-and-drop (or matching) question, then shrink it down a bit (SnagIt does a good job of resizing images without distorting them too badly.) Then I create a pop-up page that's about the same size as my image and paste my image into it. When the user clicks the button to see the correct answer (however you want that to occur), I have the button show the pop-up page on top of the quiz page. That way, the learner can see both the answer they gave and the correct answer at the same time and compare them to see exactly where they went wrong.
(To enhance this a bit and make it easier to tell what they're looking at as they do the comparison, I use the Image Editor to recolor the background of the correct answer.)
Hope that my and/or Ben's response gets you that last .0001% of the way there!
