Drag and drop activities - Schoolshape 2.43 released

Submitted by james on Wed, 2011-04-13 02:26

The latest upgrade to Schoolshape includes a few little extras which weren't quite ready for release in version 2.4.

The main item is the new drag-and-drop activity, which lets you create activities which re-order sentences, gap fills where students must pick from several alternatives and similar activities.

Create a gap fill activity, enter text and choose the parts that students must fill in as per normal. Then, click the spanner icon in the top right of the activity and select 'Drag and drop'. Clicking on 'Student answer view' in the left hand bar will let you test out what the student will see.

Other extras include:

  1. moving around activites and resources using the tab or enter keys;
  2. controlling whether marking of picture labelling and gap fill activities is case sensitive - click the spanner icon in the top right of the activity to change this; and
  3. further improvements to the new resource layout, which now works seamlessly with screen control and supervision.
