How do I create a sort list item?
In Mastery Connect, you can create a sort list item. A sort list question requires the student to drag and drop a list of response choices from one column to another column in a new order.
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
