Spookily Accruate
Hello! For this challenge, I reused a character I created way back in 2020, for Challenge #292 (Using Variables). In case you wondered, Zardoz is a cross between Sean Connery and the Zoltan machine from Big. I've upgraded Zardoz with a few tricks I've learned in the meantime, including live polling, a speech animation cycle, and some sneaky Javascript. If Zardoz doesn't successfully read your mind, he can still surprise you with what he does know about you. Does Zardoz know what you're thinking? TRY IT OUT HERE

Everything You Need to Know About Creating Mobile Learning with Articulate 360
Articulate 360 has everything an e-learning professional needs to quickly and easily develop courses for desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones. It includes industry-leading mobile technology that frees course developers from endlessly tweaking their courses for every device a learner might use. Let’s take a closer look at Articulate 360's technology—and how it makes developing mobile learning so much easier. Publish Storyline 360 and Studio 360 Courses to a Responsive Player Articulate 360 includes our award-winning authoring apps Storyline 360 and Studio 360. Create any interactive e-learning imaginable with Storyline 360. And Studio 360 makes it easy to transform PowerPoint presentations into engaging e-learning. Both of these apps use our responsive mobile course player, which adapts course content for any device. Here’s how it works: When a learner opens a Storyline 360 or Studio 360 course on their mobile device, the responsive player automatically adapts to make the most of the screen real estate while preserving course content. There’s no need for e-learning developers to tweak courses for different devices or aspect ratios. They simply publish content and the technology does the rest. See the player in action in this video. To provide a seamless experience for learners on the go, our responsive mobile player automatically provides intuitive mobile navigation and supports mobile gestures such as swipe and pinch-to-zoom. Explore this example on your mobile device to see what we mean!

Every day, more and more people rely on smartphones and tablets in their work and personal lives. Did you know that, on average, mobile users check their phones about 150 times a day? 1 Not only that, but 90 percent of full-time employees in the U.S. use mobile devices for work. 2 So it comes as no surprise that today’s learners expect their training content to be as portable as their devices. But does this mean you should abandon computer-based e-learning courses in favor of mobile ones? Not exactly. This article will help you understand the what, why, and how of multi-device e-learning. What Is Multi-Device E-Learning? When smartphones and tablets first started gaining popularity, e-learning designers wanted to create e-learning courses specially for these mobile devices. They called this e-learning spin-off “mobile learning” or “m-learning.” But after awhile, course developers realized that learners don’t need computer-only or mobile-only content. They switch from a smartphone to a tablet to a laptop and back again without blinking an eye. This reality about the way learners consume content is how multi-device learning—or online training that works on any device—was born! Why Should You Build Multi-Device E-Learning? Today’s learners don’t just want courses that work on smartphones, tablets, and computers. They expect it. They’re used to finding the information they need when they need it—whether they’re at home, at the office, or on the go. Creating multi-device e-learning is a great way to improve performance by expanding the reach of your training and empowering your learners to seek out the professional skills they’re lacking at the moment of need—just like they do in their personal lives. How Do You Create Multi-Device E-Learning? Lucky for you, modern authoring tools have evolved to the point where making multi-device e-learning is no more challenging than making computer-only e-learning. However, every app handles multi-device e-learning a little differently, so it’s important to do some research before committing. Apps like Rise 360 and Storyline 360, for example, allow you to keep building courses like you always have, taking care of cross-device compatibility for you in the background automagically. With Rise 360, you can create inherently responsive e-learning courses quickly and easily—no manual tweaking required! And with Storyline, you can author your slide-based course once, publish it, and it’ll automatically look great on any device. Be aware that some slide-based apps will require you to manually tweak each slide of your course to makes sure it works correctly on smaller devices—which can be a real time-suck.
