Configuring learning interactions

For each of the six interactions, you must enter specific parameters for the quiz to function
properly. A Drag and Drop interaction requires that you specify the Target object and the
Drag object. Each Target object and Drag object is referred to as a distractor. A distractor is
simply one of a series of selectable choices. This term is used for the choices in each of the
learning interactions. For example, with a Multiple Choice learning interaction, you enter the
multiple-choice distractors.
Configuring a Drag and Drop interaction
You can use as many as eight Drag objects and eight Target objects in each Drag and Drop
interaction. Each Drag object can snap to any target named in the Drag and Drop component
for evaluation. Drag objects can also share targets; for example, both Drag 1 and Drag 2 can
match Target 8. You can also specify a target without matching a Drag object to it, which lets
you add incorrect target distractors for evaluation.
Each Target object and Drag object is referred to as a distractor. A distractor is simply one of a
