JavaScript Phrase Generators in E-Learning #174: Challenge | Recap

As course designers, you’re likely familiar with shuffling quiz choices and and randomizing quiz slides in your courses. These are standard authoring features that keep quizzes from being predictable.

If you’re looking to randomize content outside of quizzes, you’re going to need some help from JavaScript. And that’s what this week’s challenge is all about!
