- Last updated on February 20, 2023 at 8:24 AM
Publishers, school/district admins, and teachers can create different types of questions on the platform. Drag and drop questions are of two types -
1. Drag and drop with Drop zones -
The author will be able to create a question by adding an image. On the uploaded image teacher can define the drop zones and upload images as options that can be added to the drop zones. Students can then respond to the question by dragging the image options in the desired drop zone.
2. Drag and drop without Drop zones -
The author will be able to create a question by adding an image in question space along with images as options. On the uploaded image teacher will not define the drop zones. Here, student can respond to the question by dragging the image options anywhere on the desired place on the question image.
