Drag & Drop (n to 1) | Scheer IMC - Customer Documentation (EN)

The "Drag & Drop" (n to 1) test question type distributes elements to target areas using the mouse, allowing several elements to be assigned to the same target area.

How It Is Built

The "Drag & Drop" type is configured through a tabbed structure covering the question's description, its available languages, the question content itself, the draggable elements, the target areas, and the correct assignment between them.

Description

Holds the question's basic metadata.

Setting

Description

Name

The administrative name will be used during the management of the question and when selecting questions during the creation of a test or feedback. It is based on the name shown to the learner when opening the test/feedback.

Description

The administrative description will be used during the management of the question and when selecting questions during the creation of a test or feedback. It is based on the name shown to the learners when opening the test/feedback.

Keywords

Search terms associated with the question, used to find it in the question pool.

Test Mode

The test mode describes the purpose of a test or test question. When adding questions to a test, a targeted search can be carried out with a specific learning test mode. The test mode saved in each test file includes a reference points indicating which questions should be selected.

Average Processing Time (Seconds)

The completion for test questions are added together and equate to the total completion times for the test containing these test questions. If “No time limit” is selected here, no time will be planned in for the question when adding up. This option should only be selected if, in principle, no completion time controls will be used in tests. When the test is configured to use the timer per test, this value will be used as a countdown on the question itself.
When using the question times to compute an overall test times, the value in seconds must not represent a partial minute. If the total test time results in an incomplete minute, it will be rounded to the nearest full minute.

Level of Educational Objectives

The level of educational objectives describes the reason why a question has been included in the test. When adding questions to a test, a targeted search can be carried out with a specific level of educational objectives. The level of educational objectives saved in each test file includes a reference points indicating which questions should be selected.

Active

If disabled, the question which was in its previous version added to a test or feedback, will be removed as part of the automatic update process, if configured to run.

Manages the languages the question is available in. Each language can be flagged as "Administrative", "Basis", or "Default", and its "Language Translation Status" is tracked (for example "Translated").

Question

Holds the content connected with the question itself, entered per language, together with the grading configuration.

Setting	Description
Overall Points for the Question	A single point value awarded for the whole question, used when grading is not split per answer.
Points for Each Possible Answer	Awards points individually per element-target assignment instead of one overall value.
Award 0 Points if No Answer Was Checked	Explicitly awards zero points when no assignment was made, rather than leaving the outcome undefined.
Name	The displayed name will be managed in several languages and displayed to the learner when they open the question. It is based on the name used for management.
Attachment to Questions	An optional file uploaded alongside the question.
Question	The question text as it is presented to the learner.
Instructions for Online Tests	The text provided here explains to the learner how to process the question if the test is directly accessed in the system, e.g. “Click the box next to the correct answer”.
Instructions for Offline Tests	The text provided here explains to the learner how to process the question if the test is completed in a printed form, e.g. “Mark the correct answer with an X”.
Response When Answered Correctly	The text entered here will be displayed to learners after assessing the question if it has been answered correctly. The display of the response depends on the test player’s settings.

Elements

Defines the draggable elements. Each element is entered per language and can optionally carry a media file.

Setting	Description
Element Text	The text to be displayed as an answer option for the question is displayed here If an image area question is posed, the response option describes a selectable image area. If a series question is asked, the series of the answer options corresponds to the solution.
Upload media file	The file selected here will also be displayed in a transferrable element.
Placement of media element related to text	Positions the uploaded media above, to the left of, or below the element's text.
Argument	The text entered here provides more detailed explanations about the sample solution.

Targets

Defines the target areas the elements are dropped onto, allowing several elements to map to the same target.

Setting	Description
Automatic Box Measurements	The size of the target box will be automatically determined on the basis of the size of the movable elements. Alternatively, it is possible to manually enter the height and width of the target box.
Box Height / Width (px)	Sets the target box's dimensions manually, when automatic calculation is disabled.
Box Name	The target's internal name.
Box Content	If required, a text can be entered here which will be displayed in the target box.

Answer

Establishes the correct assignment between elements and target areas, allowing several elements to map to the same target. Elements and targets must be defined first; the tab shows a prompt to complete those tabs otherwise.

Classifications

Applies classification categories to the question, supporting its selection and management within the wider test framework.

See Classifications

Arrangement

Sets where the drag-and-drop area sits relative to the question text: to its left, to its right, above it, or below it.

Creating a Drag & Drop Question

Elements and target areas are defined per language, each optionally carrying a media file, and the correct assignment between them is established on the "Answer" tab, with several elements assignable to the same target. A target's size is calculated automatically by default, or set manually by disabling automatic calculation.

Scoring

Points can be awarded either as a single overall value for the question or individually for each element-target assignment. No answer being selected can optionally be configured to award zero points explicitly.

Example

Dragging all mountain names located in the Alps into the upper box and all others into the lower box.
