How it looks on the Platform:
It can be found in the 'Add activity' section after you enter 'Edit' mode.
After adding the new Activity, you can start to set it up:
At this point, the builders must decide whether the location of the drag and drop elements should match exactly or not. If the Activity requires absolute match, builders need to click 'Enable' first and then place the drag and drop elements on the table in their corresponding place so that the students can drop them in the exact same cell.
There are three columns and three rows by default, but builders can choose whether to add or remove any if needed. In order to add a new row, column or header, just click ‘Add’.
In order to remove something, simply click on the cell whose row or column should be removed. At this point builders can also choose to add static content (such as a title for the header) or drag and drop elements.
After this, builders can choose to add fake answers to increase the difficulty of the activity. In addition, you can allow the students to see the correct answers after submitting by enabling the toggle displayed under 'Specific settings', at the bottom.
How it looks on the Platform (Student view):
The student simply has to drag and drop the options proposed above to their corresponding place in the table and click 'Submit'. They can also pick each item and then click on the cell they consider, and once they finish placing the elements, they only need to press ‘Submit’.
