Drag and Drop

Drag and Drop questions allow the student to demonstrate the concepts of matching items together. One main benefit of this type of questioning method is that it can approximate testing situations closer to the target activity. For example, if you wanted to test an employee's ability to correctly place a component in a specific area on a piece of equipment, would it be closer to the target skill to have them answer a worded question, or using the computer mouse, clicking on a graphic image of the component and dragging the image to the correct area on the piece of equipment?
