Issue

It has been decided that drag and drop questions are not meant to be accessible. We decided to expand the description of these questions to remind teachers about this when they are creating questions.

• These question types are solely reliant on visual location to provide an answer:
  • Drag and drop onto image question type
  • Drag and drop marker question type
• There is an image of text present with insufficient alt text. See screenshot-1.
