A great discussion from the tinygames mailing list (which gregdek
started a while back).

Whatever you call them, is there, or can we put here, a good list of
the basic patterns of digital learning activity?

That is, however fancy the game appears, in the end there are a
relative few modes of interaction between the learner and the
knowledge to be gained. True/false is the simplest (Binary choice,
binary feedback). Multiple choice with 3 incorrect and one correct is
the most common.

Is there a name for the pattern underlying Greg's multiples of 3 and 5
quest? Kind of a multiple choice with multiple correct answer
components?

WidgEd's second example of drad-drop matching certainly seems a unique
entry.  From the first example, the inline dropdown is surely a new
variant of multiple choice?

And now you begin to see the forking nature of the beast...

I wrote some more about this here, but I haven't found the definitive
research:
