Our team would like to see a question type which allows end users to click and drag
items into author determined groupings. This could be used for grouping questions or for matching questions.
An example of a question would be:Sort these fruits and vegetables by their color. The groupings would be the different colors, and end users would drag the items (the specific fruits and vegetables) into the grouping.
Thanks for the response Adam! When I think of hot spot capability which is mentioned in the Drag & Drop function idea, I imagine being able to select a point within an image such as this example I created (but with correct/incorrect feedback of course):
With the idea that I left, I'm imagining more so just the ability to drop predefined text into predefined fields created by the author such as this example I created:
So to answer your question, I think the IT effort to create one or the other would overlap to a degree, but not entirely, especially when it comes to the author view and creation portion of it.
I could see how these ideas would be different if the Drag-&-Drop idea was written in a way as to exclude the ability to drop items on to a background image. If it was only referring to the ability to select a portion of an image, for instance. However, I think that original idea is written in such a way as to accommodate elements which can be dragged to regions of the page, which would allow for an example such as the one you used.

Hi Ryan, thanks for taking the time to share your idea. I saw you had also recently commented on Drag-&-Drop function with immediate feedback. I am curious how these two ideas would be different. Would you mind elaborating a bit further on how the grouping question type would be different than a question type that allows items to be dragged and dropped on to part of a predefined area?
