Opifex Phoenix Software
This page provided information about Fallacy Tutorial Pro and Scholastic Challenge.
The software has the following features:
- Fallacy Navigator: A means to quickly move from fallacy to fallacy.
- Fallacy Cards: These cards provide the definitions, common names, and examples of various fallacies.
- Text Export:The contents of the fallacy cards can be exported as text files.
- Notes: A handy, "multipage" electronic notepad for taking notes on the fallacies.
- Quiz Sets: Quizzes for testing how much the user has learned from the tutorial. Includes hints as well as an explanation of the answers (both right and wrong answers).
- Quiz Notes: A useful notepad for taking notes during the quiz. This notepad has the capacity to export text.
- 3D Graphic interface.
- Monitor(s) Control: The user can set the bit-depth of any attached monitors (up to three) from B&W to Millions of colors (assuming the system supports the desired number of colors). This feature also allows the user to alter the way Fallacy Tutorial Pro handles memory and makes it possible to run Fallacy Tutorial Pro on very limited systems by reducing the color bit-depth.
- Backdrops: The user can choose between having a black backdrop, a white backdrop, or no backdrop. Backdrops are preferred by some users because they prevent leaving the application by accidentally clicking outside of an active window. They also add to the aesthetic value of the software by blocking out the desktop and other windows which might clash visually.
