How to create a 'Drag and Drop into Text question '?

A Drag and Drop into Text question requires participants to select and drag text options from an answer bank into specific blanks within the question text.


Below are the steps to follow in order to create a matching question:

  1. Navigate to EDITOR > LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE > Questions and Quizzes > Question Bank.

  2. Click on the 'Add New Question' button at the top right corner.

  3. On the 'Create new Question' select the 'Question Type' as ‘Drag And Drop In Text’.

  4. Enter the number of missing words in the question.

  1. Enter your question in the Question field.

  • Type your question or sentence into the Question field. Within the text, insert placeholders where    each missing word should appear by using the designated placeholder button shown below:


Enter the option texts for each missing word and assign them to the appropriate answer option group. Since this example includes only one missing word, there will be a single answer option group (Group 1). If the question contains two drag and drop words, corresponding answer option groups (Group 1 and Group 2) should be created.

After entering all option texts for each missing word group, select the checkbox “Mark this as the correct answer option” for the appropriate option. This ensures that the system awards the correct score when the user selects the correct answer.

Below is the example for 2 drag and drop text question settings.
