Game maps for E-learning design (gamification)

Nice work, Maxwell! Thanks for sharing :)

Great stuff - in what ways do you think this would be integrated into a course design for higher ed? 

Thanks, Allison. It's my pleasure, 

Thanks, Darryl. I'm actually building a few theme-based projects with maps such as these as the landing page and students would collect tokens at each point of achievement. I see a lot of possibilities for bringing more game elements into course designs with maps like these (and other game elements of course, according to emerging research). For example, I'm building a citizenship course and rather than use bullets and tabs to show topics, I'm laying out the course on a map as a journey with various milestones and achievement points.  Here is an interesting infographic on the subject.

Will share more once I make more progress. :-) If you'd like to collaborate on something we could certainly begin a conversation

wow, that's really nice work. is this complete map ?

Maxwell,

This sounds really interesting – I am interested as to how this concept may be used at a post-grad level, have you had much experience with that?

Collaboration sounds awesome !

Darryl

Thank you Rachmat. For the purposes of designing a simple e-learning course with two or three levels, this would serve but I do build various customizations based on clients' needs and the levels/topics of the course.  

Yes, I do, Darryl. I inboxed you :-) 

Maxwell - what did you create the map in?

Hi Sean, I used photoshop

Great work!

Thank you, NTW

Hi Maxwell! Your map looks great! I'm curious, What programs are your favorite to use when creating games for e-learning?

Hey Hannah, sorry I missed this somehow. For the above design I used photoshop but depending on the complexity needed, I sometimes use other tools such as powerpoint, storyline 360, or other
