## What is a Mapping Element? <a href="#what-is-a-single-choice-element" id="what-is-a-single-choice-element"></a>

A **mapping** element creates association-based assessments where learners match related items across two columns.&#x20;

It’s ideal for testing understanding of relationships, concept connections, or paired information through an interactive matching interface.
