Hello everyone! I see some beautiful and creative samples here. I am late for the party this week. It was a busy week for me here, but I am glad I was able to squeeze in time for this challenge.
This time, I created a one mini-lesson sample in Biology. Let me know how you like it.
P.S. I have disabled some of the course player options to increase engagement, but you can skip any section using the menu.

Any feedback is appreciated :)

I had to pull my 6th-grader in for some help with your example, Amy:-p
Thanks for sharing this week. I like the visual feedback you added for the markers to indicate correct and incorrect choices. That's a nice touch and something I think a lot of experienced users don't even know is possible with markers.
The only feedback I'd offer is regarding the placement of the on-slide submit button. I didn't expect to see it in the same place as the previous button. Being a primary button, I'd expect to see it visually emphasized over the next button. And thinking about it, since the next button is inactive, you could either 1) add opacity to reduce its emphasis or even place the submit button in the next button's location.
Anyway, this is a great example of lightbox slides (and general course design) for biology classes. Recap updated: https://community.articulate.com/articles/ways-to-use-lightbox-slides-in-elearning#amy

- David you called it. I did not know markers could show correct and incorrect after the submit button. That is nice. I will have to try it. I have also never used them in drag n drop! Always something to learn in these challenges and the community.
- Thanks, Jeffrey, for taking a look at my sample. Let me know how it goes with the use of the markers. I would love to know what creative ways you will be using them.
- Hi David, lol, oh trust me, I ask my 9th grader about all sorts of things I don't know about. I totally get it :). Thanks for the wonderful feedback and suggestions you gave me. When I was testing it out, I felt that the submit button is intuitively at the wrong place, but the thought of making the next button invisible until it's activated never crossed my mind. Thanks so much for giving me the tip and the feedback. I'll edit it because this is something I want to add to my portfolio ;).
As for the markers, I created new states for them and customized the colors to green and red. I'm glad my sample provides usefulness for other IDs. Isn't it wonderful the things we learn when we step outside of the box or see other people's work? Thanks for keeping an active community here. You are very much appreciated.
