- LindaLorenzetti10 years agoSuper HeroMegan, that is a really good looking presentation. To make it a little more difficult, you could turn off the hand icon so that it doesn't show you where the mistakes are.
- jayboyd10 years agoCommunity MemberLinda, I ran into the hover-hand issue with mine. I dredged the discussion boards for a quick fix, and couldn't find one for my situation. I even tried putting a hidden hotspot over or under all the options, so the hand remained on, but that just messed up my text states. Do you know a fool-proof way to get the hand to not give away answers?
- LindaLorenzetti10 years agoSuper HeroCarl, Right click the hotspot and uncheck "Show hand cursor on hover"
- CalvinLo10 years agoCommunity Memberreally nice graphics megan! very well-made. i would like to know if there's a way to show the correct answer? i'm stuck at the first mistake and couldn't figure out the correct answer. :(
- MeganNeff10 years agoCommunity MemberHi Calvin - I have it set to give you a hint if you type an incorrect response. However, in the event that more errors are made in typing, it does not identify those errors.
- AmandaAllen-6eb10 years agoCommunity MemberMegan - I always like you're entries. They are very nicely designed. I'm jealous of your skills! I, too, got stuck on the first mistake even with the hint. I think the rule you're trying to apply is a controversial one - some people would place a comma after tomato and some wouldn't feel it necessary. At any rate, I used both options and still received an incorrect message.
- MeganNeff10 years agoCommunity MemberHi Amanda - Thanks so much. I thought this might be an issue. I have it set so the correct response is a comma after lettuce, only. Thanks for the feedback.
- SimonBlair10 years agoCommunity MemberThere's that Oxford comma again!
As I understand it, the Oxford comma is used more frequently in commonwealth countries and less so in the US.
- AndrewSellon10 years agoCommunity MemberBeautiful design! So elegant and fun; I envy you your wonderful design skills, Megan. But as someone who subscribes to the serial (or Oxford or Harvard) comma, I was surprised to have my answer marked wrong because of it. I don't think it's ever wrong to use it, and in many cases, it's essential for clarity. I edited a literary magazine for three years, and our staff found it really was important to use it consistently. Here are some amusing examples of why: http://www.buzzfeed.com/adamdavis/the-oxford-comma-is-extremely-important-and-everyone-should#.cdoB3o3MJ
