[Xerte] Re: Adding Feedback on Completion of Drag and Drop Labelling (Wizards)

[Kemp Johnathan]

Is there some confusion as to which Page Wizard(s) you want to modify?

In your subject line you mentioned Drag and Drop labeling wizards, you then
referred to trying to modify Gapfill and Dave is now suggesting a
modification to Categories. If we are talking about all wizards that have
drag and drop capability then I need specific details to provide a set of
requirements. Sorry if I sound picky but I have had to many horror stories
in my programming past of people loosely defining something, I then code to
their requirements and then they say "That's not what I wanted". So for
everyone's sake it is better to be clear up front :-)

Do you want text and / or audio feedback (e.g. woo hoo, versus doh sounds)
Which Page Wizards would you like the feedback in?
When do you want the feedback to be displayed?
Is the feedback generic - feedback on correct answer, feedback on incorrect
answer, or is it specific i.e. correct and incorrect feedback responses for
item a, correct and incorrect feedback responses for item b etc.

The Drag and Drop labeling Page Wizard already provides for each drag-able
item a designer definable message for correct drop and for incorrect drop.

The Gapfill exercise provides feedback on completion but no feedback on
individual drags and drops. It should be possible to provide a single
feedback for correct drops and for incorrect drops, but I don't think it
will be practical to provide individual correct and incorrect feedback texts
for each word as the words are not added as individual items in the wizard
(e.g. in the way that questions are added to a quiz or that options are
added to a question). So there is no way in the wizard of associating
feedback text to each word.

The Categories Page Wizard provides feedback in the form of ticks and
crosses to indicate which specific answers are correct or incorrect but no
written feedback. What feedback would you want to display? e.g.

   1. A designer specified message on incorrect check answer;
   2. A designer specified message on all correct check answer;
   3. Correct or incorrect feedback on each individual drag and drop?

Number 3 is the most problematic as it will modify the logic of the page.
Why would you bother checking the answers at the end if you already know on
an individual basis when each answer is correct or incorrect?

Let me know which template(s) you would like feedback changes to and
specifically what changes you are hoping for and I will have a better idea
of what we are seeking to achieve here.

Kind regards

Johnathan
