Parsons Problemes?

Hi there! New Open edX user and creating some technical, programming courses. I’m wondering if anyone has implement Parsons Problems in Open edX. These are problems that give a learned a series of blocks or elements and ask them to place them in the correct order. Here is an example of the kinds of problems I am hoping to implement:

I’ve seen the drag and drop problem type which is sort of close to what I need, but all I’m looking for is a way to indicate if the statements are in the correct order.

Welcome @mfherman !

Two potential options to investigate:

  1. H5P.org might be able to do that. X-block here: GitHub - edly-io/h5pxblock: Xblock which provides ability to play H5P content in open edX
  2. If not, then it might be worth creating a custom javascript problem. That can serve as a template for any of your drag-and-drop problems if they all work the same.

Give these a shot! If you are interested in outsourcing this, I can help. I’ve done a lot of custom javascript problems.
