What is Taquin Question Object?

Taquin Question Object is a unique question type that provides a combination of Multiple Choice, Ordered List and Match Item type questions. Unlike a static question object that provides limited interaction and feedback, Taquin Question Object transforms itself as users sequentially select their answers.  When selected, correct answers move into the right location and all remaining choices rearrange themselves and make room for the next correct answer.

Who Developed Taquin Question Object?

Peter Jackson is the creator of Taquin Question Object.  He originally designed the object to address some unique training requirements with his own clients including the Australian Army.  Peter is well known in the ToolBook community for his innovative and elegant solutions to some of the most perplexing ToolBook challenges.

What Exactly Does Taquin Mean Anyway?

Do you remember the handheld puzzle that you used to play with as a kid?  The one with the nine squares that you would move around, one at a time, to unscramble a picture.  Taquin comes from the French term jeu de taquin which means game of teasing.
