FREE: Magic 8-Ball Quiz Template
Hello!
For this week's E-Learning Heroes Challenge (#278), I dusted off this abandoned project that uses the random number variable to power a dynamic feedback / help function within a standard Mu...
I can't thank you enough for this incredibly amazing quiz template! Not only did you create some super cool graphics while keeping the design sleek and clean, but the "shakes" feature just blows my mind (how you programmed it). If that weren't enough, this is EXACTLY what I need for my language learners. The option to shake the magic 8 ball for a hint lowers the affective filter, thereby reducing test anxiety, as you obviously know. For language learners, this is crucial, particularly in the formative stages. It is often challenging to get learners to risk using new language incorrectly in a classroom context, but this is one way that online learning really shines. Your template just made it 100x more fun! (Incidentally, I have already adapted this for use in my courses and credited you for your amazing work.)
Thanks Jennifer, really grateful for your feedback and pleased to hear my template is being put to good use in other settings. Sounds like you have been able to adapt it without difficulty, but if you need any further help or support just ask.
That is so kind of you! I believe I have figured out all I wanted to change (fonts, colors) on this template. I would never dream of messing with the triggers--and that is definitely beyond my expertise at this point (plus, there's no need to revise them). As it turns out, I happened upon another great free template of yours (Fly Airticulate), which has been a bit more challenging to update, but I finally figured how how to access the "Progress Tracker" text to change the font! Perhaps someday I'll reach your level of expertise/creativity (and your online portfolio is hilarious, by the way).
