The last project for this semester was extremely open-ended...that can be daunting for me. However, I knew what type of project I wanted to create from the start: a gamified eLearning to be able to flex my creative muscles in course creation. I couldn't wait to dive right in to creating a simulated environment! The only problem was choosing a topic. I wracked my brain for a course topic that lent itself well to a gamified simulation and came up with: cooking! People learn how to cook from practice, but digital training on the topic usually lacks that feature, which made it the perfect subject of an eLearning. |
In the end, I settled on a simple cooking project that everyone should have the basics of in life: the omelet. I used gamification elements throughout, like levels and interactive drag and drop interactions, to add a little bit more fun to the simulation of a kitchen environment. I ran into a few technical issues with Articulate Storyline while building this course, but overall I'm very happy with the result! With more time, I'd add in a few more gamification elements like points and badges, but maybe I'll tackle those in the future. To view my course, use the button below.
