Sort List

The Sort List question type allows students to drag items into the correct order.

Description

The Sort List question type allows students to arrange items into the correct order by dragging the items from the Source area to the Target area.

Students can drag, highlight, and move items between/within the lists using the arrows.

Create a Question

Enter a question stem in the Compose Question area. In the List section below enter the items you want your students to sort as shown in Figure 2. Click the +Add button to add more items to this Source list.

This list represents the Source list with elements that must be ordered in the target area.

Follow these steps in order to configure question validation:

• Insert a value in the Point(s) box to set up a mark for the question.
• The Correct tab holds the list of elements to be ordered. To validate the question simply arrange the elements in the expected order.
