Task sub-type: ORDER

In the section Sub-types of CONNECT, the two most typical interactions used for the task sub-type ORDER were named as Order and Graphic Order.

The Order interaction is used to make connections between a series of written elements according to a specific order. This order could be chronological in nature, or could indicate size or type, for example. Candidates are asked to define the correct order of the elements presented. In the example below, they are asked to put the cities into the chronological order in which they served as the capital of Japan.

The Graphic Order interaction is used to make connections between a series of elements according to a specific order, similar to the Order interaction, but this time the elements are presented on an image. Candidates are asked to define the correct order of the elements presented. In the example below, they are asked to put the states shown on the map in order of size of population.
