Customize Built-in Drag and Drop Interaction Using Articulate Storyline

As you know, drag and drop is a very common interactivity in any eLearning course. Articulate Storyline allows you to design and create drag and drop interaction as per your requirements. We can customize various built-in drag and drop interactions to visually stunning effects using triggers and variables in Storyline.

When I customized this interaction, here are some features that were of interest to me:

  • The drag items and drop targets can be re-positioned wherever we want to on the slide
  • The interactions come with an interesting option of delayed feedback until interaction is submitted
  • The drag items and drop targets can be ranged from 1 to 11.
  • We also have various options fordrop targets such as Tile, Stack Random, Stack Offset, Snap to center and Free

In this blog, I would like to share a few samples where we have customized the built-in drag and drop interactions to a visually stunning effect in Articulate Storyline.

The built-in drag and drop interactions available in Articulate Storyline are:

1. Drag and Drop Labels

2. Inbox Drag and Drop

3. Sorting Drag and Drop

4. Sequence Drag and Drop

Drag and Drop Labels Inbox Drag and Drop
Sorting Drag and Drop Sequence Drag and Drop
