In this section, you will explore some of the amazing possibilities of the Drag and Drop interaction. Drag and Drop requires at least two objects. One serves as the Drag Source and the second as the Drop Target:
- The Drag Source is the object that the student can drag
- The Drop Target is the object on which a Drag Source can be dropped
It does not matter what those objects are, as long as they are not interactive. In the following example, you will use images as both the Drag Source and the Drop Target, but you could as well use Text Captions, Highlight Boxes, Smart Shapes, and so on.
To make things more interesting, a single slide can contain multiple Drag Sources and multiple Drop Targets. Thanks to this capability, you are able to create complex and fun interactions. Best of all, Drag and Drop is supported in both Flash and HTML5.
