Drag and drop markers quiz question

Drag and drop marker questions require learners to match marker text onto a background image via drag and drop.

Upload a Background image using the file upload and add the words that will represent the Markers for your image.  Add extra, non-applicable markers to increase the difficulty of the question.

Use the Number field to define how many times the Marker can be used.  If Unlimited is selected, markers may be used more than once.

After uploading the background image, you will be able to see grid lines and X and Y coordinates for areas on your image on mouse over. Each grid is ten pixels.

Enter the X and Y coordinates of the correct location on the background image, followed by a semicolon, followed by the width and the height of the box. e.g. 30,115;100,100

These four coordinates represent:

• The top left corner or area of the selected dropzone
• The bottom right corner or area of the selected dropzone
• The width of the selected dropzone (number of boxes across)
• The height of the selected dropzone (number of boxes up)

More than one Marker may be placed in a single dropzone.

Multiple tries

Optionally set a score penalty for each incorrect try. Incorrect tries include the use of extra markers as well as markers placed in incorrect dropzones.

If a drag and drop markers question is used in a quiz set to use the Interactive with multiple tries question behaviour, marking is modified as follows when a penalty has been applied:

• The mark is reduced for each try by the penalty factor.
• Allowance is made for when a correct choice is first chosen providing it remains chosen in subsequent tries.

Three additional marking and multiple tries options are available (depending on the quiz question behaviour):

• Show the number of correct responses: Include in the quiz question feedback a statement of how many choices are correct.
• State which markers are incorrectly placed: Include in the feedback a list of markers which are incorrectly placed.
• Move incorrectly placed markers back to default start position below image: When Try again is clicked incorrectly positioned labels are removed.
