Drag-and-drop interactions are a popular element of online training courses for many good reasons: most notably, they’re fun, challenging, and engaging for learners! These interactions go beyond passive browsing and invite learners to touch and explore course elements. And, they make it easy to give learners instantaneous feedback if they’re not on the right track.
