Sequence questions

Sequence questions ask learners to put items into a sequence from beginning to end by some rule or according to some principle. Learners are presented with a list of items in an incorrect order. They must move the items to put the items into the right relative positions within the list.

This example asks learners about the relative hardness of 5 minerals. Learners drag pictures of the minerals into the appropriate slot before clicking the Check Answer button to see which items are in their correct positions.

In this example, learners must drag elements of a Gantt chart into place to represent relationships among tasks of a project. Such drag-and-drop questions test the ability to assign items to the correct category or to arrange the parts of a system into a whole.
