Testing your Understanding

How did you get on? If you got the question on the previous page right, well done; if not, then try and think through our suggested answer and make sure that you understand.

Drag and Drop

To further test your understanding, try the following 'drag and drop' exercise below. Each statement has a letter attached to it. Drag the letter to the appropriate box - 'import' or 'export'. When you select the 'Mark' button you will be told how many you have got right - but will not be told which ones are correct and which ones are wrong. You will have to go through and check your decisions! This is designed to try and encourage you to think through the idea.

Please note: to make full use of the activity, your system must have Macromedia Flash Player 6 (or higher) installed - this can be obtained from the Macromedia Web site. Interactive Macromedia Flash resources developed by Biz/ed are designed to work both with and without the use of a mouse and be compatible with as many assistive technologies as possible (further information on our accessibility features is available). If you cannot view the interactive resources for whatever reason a static annotated image will appear instead; if you cannot view the static image, it will be replaced by descriptive text.

To perform the drag and drop exercise using the keyboard tab to the list of items. Use l and r to move the items to the left and right containers respectively and tab to move to the next item. To mark the exercise press the return key and to reset the resource use the delete key.
