Hello all,
I’m creating an interaction where I’d like to accept a source into an incorrect target momentarily and then automatically return it to the starting position so the learner can try again. I am decrementing a variable when the learner makes an incorrect attempt and, in the end, will report that they got “n” out of 7 correct. Ultimately, they will drop all source objects into the correct target, correct answers will be auto-submitted, but they are penalized for failed attempts. Sounds harsh, but it’s just a Knowledge Check.

Certainly not possible out of the box with CP’s drag&drop functionality. The lag time is necessary I suppose? Captivate has InBuilt states for all drag sources and drop targets, not sure if you are aware of that. May be an alternative? Some of those states appear only for a short time. Have a look at:

Trying to mimick something from another tool is often a tough job. Much better to look at the possibilities in the present tool, they may even be better but you need to know about them.
BTW I didn’t get any notification yesterday, hence I didn’t know you answered. It will get very difficult if Notification also start failing to report.
Do you need to transmit the score to a LMS?
Thank you for your excellent response.
The lag time is not necessary, strictly speaking. I just wanted to know if I could recreate it.
I understand what you’re saying about mimicking something from another tool. This project is a rush job and I didn’t want the client to have issues with me using a different functionality. I believe they’ll be fine with what I have. I used the DropAccept state to visually signal a correct choice and it looks good.
Thanks also for the link to additional resources. I’ll review those when I have a chance.
You are very generous to share your knowledge and perspective. I truly appreciate it!
