Hello!
Drag and Drop is great and all, but it presents accessibility issues. This was highlighted to me when the Articulate team shared my Star Wars demo, FIX THE HYPERDRIVE, on their Templates pages:
https://community.articulate.com/download/storyline-star-wars-knowledge-check
So I 'retrofitted' the course to allow users to 'click' as well as 'drag' each item:
https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/issues-retrofitting-accessibility-functions-to-a-former-drag-and-drop-exercise
At the start of the quiz, you can now select whether you would like to DRAG or CLICK, and this selection is also accessible using the TAB key.
In the CLICK version you can select your answer using the keyboard too.
Try it out here:

I love this example! Until I saw this retrofit a while back, I regarded drag and drops and something to be avoided because they're not accessible. Thanks for inspiring me to strive to do better than just skip drag and drops altogether!
