Ordering question type

New feature
in Moodle 4.4!

Overview

Originally developed by community moodler Gordon Bateson the ordering question type was added to standard Moodle from Moodle 4.4 onwards after sponsorship by the Moodle Users Association.

It displays several items (words, phrases, images or other media) in a random order which must then be dragged into the correct sequential order.

What the student sees

• The student will see a jumbled list of items. The student needs to drag and drop the items until the list is in the correct order:

• If the student misplaced items, they will be marked red

• It may be important to have a proper feedback sentence explaining what went wrong (if anything)
