- ChrisWallCommunity MemberThis is very cool... and a nice, non-linear way to explore something. At first, I didn't quite get it... I was thinking about it like it was a precocious multiple-choice question (and I was ready to criticize by saying that I didn't know which option I was selecting).
Then I spent a few seconds thinking about it, and it dawned on me... this animation is always gonna help me remember exactly how much wattage my brain's cranking out when I'm awake.
Granted, there won't be a lot of opportunities for me to use this, but I like the non-traditional way to make information stick. stick (it’s akin to what people used to do back in the middle ages: since so few people were literate, you had to rely on the spoken word to deliver messages to someone. So, if you were a member of the nobility and wanted to send me a message, you’d use a runner. You’d tell the runner your message, and then, before dismissing him, you’d smack him in the face. The combination of the sharp pain and your emotional response, believe it or not, helped you recall the message more accurately later.
This, by presenting the cool graphic, lets you explore the concept, and having that visual in your head, along with the experience of flipping the switches, will help you recall this bit of information.
Very cool!- JoannaKurpiewskCommunity MemberThanks for your great feedback, Chris. I always like to hear/read how other people interact with the stuff I create.
I wanted to show 3 things with one click:
- switch button working
- play the animation
- display correct/wrong feedback by lighting (or not) a bulb
The main goal was of course to make people remember about how powerful their brain is.
Thanks again for your comment - I feel like I could light 100-watt bulb today :) - JulieRourkeCommunity MemberYes I was looking for the answer by selecting the right (as opposed to left) button.
- ChrisWallCommunity MemberI love days like that. Sadly, I have too many days when, at best, I might get a spark trying to leap across a broken filament.
- JulieRourkeCommunity MemberThis is really fantastic, and thought provoking.
Once suggestion though the instructions would be better as "Turn the CORRECT bulb on" as opposed to Right (or left).- JoannaKurpiewskCommunity MemberThanks for the suggestion, Julie

- KimLeighCommunity MemberI know this challenge is older, but I was curious how I could create this... I took it a step further by adding tabbing sequence and allowing the user to use the ENTER key to submit their answers. There is also a simple drag and drop interaction to unscramble a word. http://kimberlystrough.com/eLearningPortfolio/eLearningChallenge173/story_html5.html?lms=1
