Matching-list questions

Matching-list questions require learners to specify which items in one list correspond to items in another.

In this example, the learner chooses chemicals responsible for the respective colors of autumn leaves.

The lists need not be formatted as stacked lists of words. You can require learners to move icons or images to corresponding locations on the screen.

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