    I'm not sure what slide type you are referring to when you mention Mastery Challenge, but you can add a drag and drop to just about any slide that contains objects that you would like to use for such an interaction. Here's a recent example of when I added a drag and drop into a slide that I designed for additional purposes.

    Any drag and drop is a three-step process.

    1. Identify the drag sources
    2. Identify the drop targets
    3. Identify the correct relationship between the two

    Hi Paul,

    Is there a way to capture what activities the user have completed, before they exit the course? I'm creating a Bingo game with 25 squares (5 rows & 5 columns with acivities on each square, except the centre square). The game will not be completed in one sitting, the student will be able to come back & complete it at their convenience. Hence, I need to capture how many squares they've completed, so when they come back they can resume from where they left. Please advise, thanks

    You need to store any selections made in user variables of your choice. Then, upon entry of the slide you need an advanced action that changes the state of these objects based on the data stored in these variables. This way there is no need to retain the state of the objects on the slide, something that usually doesn't happen across multiple sessions for the learner. If you are using an LMS you will want to ensure that bookmarking is enabled. This is done in the Advanced section of your eLearning Reporting screen in your Quiz Preferences. Unless you changed it it should be on by default.

    If you are not using an LMS you would need to store these variables to local storage. This is something you can do with JavaScript. Just Google "JavaScript Local Storage and Adobe Captivate" to find one of several tutorials on how to do this. The only problem with local storage is if a learner revisits the course from a different device that local storage won't be available to them on the new device as local storage saves those variables on the device they are initially running.

      Paul, I appreciate your prompt help! In this case, I do want to retain the state, so when the learner exits the game & comes back at another time, those boxes are still marked complete & doesn't have to redo them. Is there any other reason you would recommend not retaining the state & storing in user variables?

       

      Actually, I'm using the SABA - LMS. Attached is the location you referred to for book marking - correct me if I'm wrong?

      The local storage is very helpful to know, I will explore that option for my other projects. Thank you very much! 🙂

      Hi Paul, I'm thrilled & honored to have you answer my question. I'm a big follower of your tutorials, they amazingly well done, informative, easy to follow & to the point. I tried making a Drag N Drop slide separately & moved it inside my Mastery Challenge Quiz section & I was able to include that as a part of that quiz. Earlier I was trying to insert a Question slide with Drag N Drop, but as you know, there's no such option from within the Question Slide. Thank you very much for your help!
