Question

how to set up multiple attempts in drag-and-drop

I have a drag and drop slide (not a graded quiz slide), and I see there's a way to set up the number of attempts, but no option for try again feedback after all but the last attempt. Does setting this up require incremental variables and conditional advanced actions? It seems like a basic, common thing to want to do. I'd like 3 attempts total, with a slide reset and Try Again feedback on attempts 1 and 2, and a Failure caption with the answer on attempt 3.

 

I was trying to increment a variable when an incorrect answer is submitted, so that the 1 and 2 values sent a Try Again and a 3 value sent the Failure caption. Couldn't even get close 🙂

Can you have a look at this blog post about feedback messages in D&D:

I understand what you mean about 'basic', but although a D&D slide can be used as a quiz slide, a knowledge check slide, it doesn't have all the same features of default quiz slides. You point at some of them.

Slide reset is another problem. If the D&D slide is set up as a Knowledge Check slide, you can use a workflow that re-enters the slide which will reset everything. I use that in several of my D&D blog posts. The default Reset button is not doing all the same way.

What I'm trying is a few advanced actions and allowing for 3 attempts. For some reason, this isn't working, but it seems like it should. It does give me 3 attempts, then moves on, but the captions never pop up. Maybe the increment variable isn't configured properly?

Did you read that blog post? There is an output example included, I test all workflows on my blog extensively.

 

Your screenshots are so tiny, that I cannot read the advanced actions commands. Please use the Preview of an action instead of the editing dialog box. Preview will be readable.
