You can use the Order interaction to create drag and drop items that must be put in a specific order. Note that if the student mistakenly puts what should be the last answer first, all the other responses will be incorrect, even if some are in the right order relative to each other. 

See Author Test Items and Choice Interaction for general instructions on item creation.

  1. From the Editor tab, select Add Interaction > Match & Order > Order.
  2. Enter a Prompt.
  3. Under Choices, enter answer choices.
  4. Under Correct Response, drag and drop the answer choices into the correct order.
  5. Under Settings, typically leave Label and Label Suffix as is.
  6. For Choice Position, optionally change the position of the choices and bay relative to each other.
  7. For Grip Style, optionally choose an icon for each choice.
  8. Show Choice Bay is on by default. Unchecking allows the choice bay to be hidden so that choices can be rearranged within a single target container instead of being moved between a bay and targets. The styling has been adjusted for the target appearance when the choice bay is hidden. Starting location is a dotted border around each choice. The border turns solid when a student has moved a choice and the item is then considered answered.
  9. Optionally, indicate the Min Choices a student must make.
  10. Max Points defaults to 1 but may be changed. See Set Up Partial Scoring for details on Scoring Type options available in the Scoring tab.
  11. Enter Properties. See also Item Properties.
  12. Select Save.
