CTATJumble

CTATJumble

A CTAT component that allows users to order a set of items. Typical uses include arranging words to make a valid sentence or ordering a set of numbers in ascending order. To rearrange items in the jumble, users click and hold on an item, move it over another item, and release. This will swap the position of the two items.

A CTATJumble can contain CTAT components, non-CTAT components, or both; when CTAT components are used, they should be untutored and configured so as to be non-interactive. Just about any non-interactive HTML entity can be used as a child of the CTATJumble. In the first example below, jumble1a, jumble1b, and jumble1c are the children that users can drag within the component to reorder them. For tutoring purposes, it is best to set the Jumble as untutored and use it with a CTATSubmitButton; otherwise, the order of items is evaluated each time the student moves any item.

Code Example

Example using non-CTAT components.

<div id="jumble1" class="CTATJumble" data-ctat-tutor="false">
  <!-- insert non-interactive entities here, div's work best. -->
  <div id="jumble1b">B</div>
  <div id="jumble1a">A</div>
  <div id="jumble1c">C</div>
</div>
<div id="jumble1_submit" class="CTATSubmitButton"
     data-ctat-target="jumble1">Submit Jumble</div>

Example using CTATTextField components.

<div id="jumble2" class="CTATJumble" data-ctat-tutor="false">
  <div id="jumble2-word1" class="CTATTextField" data-ctat-tutor="false">is</div>
  <div id="jumble2-word2" class="CTATTextField" data-ctat-tutor="false">great</div>
  <div id="jumble2-word3" class="CTATTextField" data-ctat-tutor="false">CTAT</div>
</div>
<div id="jumble2_submit" class="CTATSubmitButton"
     data-ctat-target="jumble2">Submit Jumble</div>
