Drag-and-drop matching is a simple solution that is meant to help learners with matching quizzes. The students must simply "drop" their responses into a pre-defined space from the list of options that are available. The drag-and-drop interface makes learning fun and interesting.

Drag-and-Drop Matching Question
-------------------------------

Author: Adriane Boyd (adrianeboyd@gmail.com)

Description:

The drag-and-drop question is adapted from the existing matching question.
The teacher editing interface and the grading have not been modified. The
fallback looks identical to the original matching question.

The drag-and-drop version of the student interface provides all the
answers in a list to the right of the question table. Answers can be
dragged from the list to each of the question targets. The current target
is highlighted to show where the answer will be dropped. To allow answers
to be used multiple times, dragging an answer from the list on the right
to a target puts a copy of the answer in the target. The current answer
for a question can be changed by dragging the answer off the target or by
dropping another answer on the target.

Grading:

The grading is identical to the original matching question.

This version can be used with Moodle 2.4.1 and ulterior versions.

This version (1.41) is a maintenance release for Moodle 2.5. It correct a bug in the backup code. All users of the previous version (1.4) should upgrade as soon as possible because backups of drag and drop questions created by the previous version are incomplete and there is a risk of dataloss. Thanks to Martin O'Mahony for reporting the problem.
