In Mastery Connect, you can create a match list item. A match list question is a drag-and-drop item that gives the student a list of predetermined answers, each corresponding to a blank response location. The student must move answer choices to the correct blank response locations.
You can create any item type through the Item Editor. You can also add passages to items, add item-level tools, and save the item. To open and use the Item Editor to add passages, add item-level tools, and save the item, learn more about:
- Creating an item in your personal item bank
- Creating an item in the district item bank as an administrator
- Creating an item from within an assessment
