Order Challenges

What Are Order Challenges?

Order challenges test a learner's ability to arrange events, steps, or priorities in the correct sequence. These are useful when the order of events matters, such as historical timelines, process steps, or task prioritization.

How Order Challenges Work

• Set up a question, such as "Order the following events from earliest to most recent."

• Enter the correct sequence of values.

• Learners drag and drop items to arrange them in the right order.

• They continue attempting until they submit the correct sequence.

Scoring System

• Points are deducted for each incorrect submission.

• The final score follows this formula:
  Max Points – (Wrong Attempts × Wrong Answer Penalty)

• Learners receive points once they arrange the items correctly.

Use Cases

• Chronological order: "Order these historical events from earliest to latest."

• Task prioritization: "Rank these tasks based on importance."

• Process sequencing: "What’s the correct order for completing this procedure?"

Best Practices

• Set a reasonable penalty for incorrect attempts, as some challenges may require multiple tries.

• Balance difficulty—ensure the number of possible sequences is challenging but not frustrating.

• Use clear instructions so learners understand the expected order format.
