Interactivity > Drag and Drop Labelling
This page presents an image which includes drop zones, and a number of labels which learners have to drag into the correct zone on the image. If a label is incorrectly placed it bounces back to its start position; when it is correctly placed it fixes in the drop zone, and (optionally) further information is displayed.
