Drag Answer into the Blank

The drag_blank block is an assessment block in which the player drags a block into a blank to complete a statement. There can be from 1 to 4 blanks on a page.

Drag N Items Into Categories

As the name implies, in the Drag N Items into Categories block the player drags items into one of three categories. A category can have as many items (N) as the designer decides. The game designer specifies the number of items to be shown on the screen at one time, and the total number of questions (items) to be presented.

Drag One Item Per Category

The Drag One Item per Category block works the same as the previous block but will show exactly one item per category.

Drag in Sequence (Chronological or Numerical Order) Block

In the Drag in Sequence block, the player drags each item into one of three boxes that are in chronological order. This block is frequently used to assess both understanding of sequence in a story and recall of chronological order of events in history. In the block, these are labeled First, Second and Third but can be changed to “Beginning”, “Middle” and “End” , dates, historical periods, numerical or alphabetical order or any other sequence.

Drag True or False

This works the same as the first block but only has two categories, labeled True and False. A designer who wishes to use other categories than true and false can simply change the headings in the HTML file.

Matching Terms

The matching terms block has terms and descriptions or definitions. The player clicks on the term and its match. If correct, the term will be moved from the left of the screen to the right, and both the term and its match shown in green. The scoreboard will show the answer is “Right” and the score will be incremented by one. A player must get all the terms correct to move ahead in the game.
