E-Learning Buzzword Bingo #98: Challenge | Recap

Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to create an e-learning buzzword bingo card or interaction.

Your bingo card doesn’t need to be interactive — static is totally fine if you’d rather work on your graphics skills this week. Just share your bingo card in .pdf format so others can print and play.

Interactive Office Bingo Game

Here’s a randomized bingo game around common office buzzwords and interactions. This project has some interesting features to inspire your own Bingo card.

Academy Awards Bingo Game

Could there be a better way to highlight the Academy’s cliches than a bingo card? I like how the bingo card includes a sidebar for each square.

Kitchen Nightmares Bingo Card

I like the use of typography and simple illustrations in this example. It’s not interactive, but it is really well designed.

E-Learning Buzzword Bingo 2009

Here’s an example of a buzzword bingo card Jane Bozarth shared a few years ago. Not only is this a great starter card, it’s also a time capsule of e-learning in 2009.

Party Conference Bingo E-Learning Game

Here’s a bingo game interaction created in Articulate Storyline. It uses custom states and variables to mark off the numbers. You can grab this template from our downloads gallery.

      Looking very princess like ;)

      Regarding to your array question on twitter(yes i snoop like that), it's certainly possible with some javascript something like this:

      var princessArray = [field1,field2,field3,field4,field5,field6,field7,field8,field9];

      If you want to use some JS on a trigger it should look something like this

      var player = GetPlayer();
      var field1 = player.GetVar("princess_01"); //princess_01 etc are variables that you have set in articulate
      var field2 = player.GetVar("princess_02");
      var field3 = player.GetVar("princess_03");
      var field4 = player.GetVar("princess_04");
      var field5 = player.GetVar("princess_05");
      var field6 = player.GetVar("princess_06");
      var field7 = player.GetVar("princess_07");
      var field8 = player.GetVar("princess_08");
      var field9 = player.GetVar("princess_09");

      var princessArray = [field1,field2,field3,field4,field5,field6,field7,field8,field9];

      You now have a array filled with articulate variables, now you could play with that Array :)

        I wasn't sure if I could use Arrays, so I didn't. You probably can't tell what I did from my code but here it is. I know I don't need the else part LOL. It works perfectly fine. (Randomizes the princess layers and only goes through them once. The only issue that I have is that if you click the button again it sometimes will reroll the same number so you have to keep clicking until you get a number it didn't roll yet. :X So, I am thinking now I need to do arrays instead.

        var player = GetPlayer();
        player.SetVar("RandNum",Math.floor((Math.random()*9)+1));

        player.GetVar("Belle");
        player.GetVar("Cinderella");
        player.GetVar("Tiana");
        player.GetVar("Pocahantas");
        player.GetVar("Merida");
        player.GetVar("Jasmine");
        player.GetVar("SnowWhite");
        player.GetVar("Ariel");
        player.GetVar("Rapunzel");

        if (Belle === True) {
        player.SetVar("RandNum",Math.floor((Math.random()*9)+1));
        } else {
        player
        }

        if (Cinderella === True) {
        player.SetVar("RandNum",Math.floor((Math.random()*9)+1));
        }
        else {
        player
        }

        if (Tiana === True) {
        player.SetVar("RandNum",Math.floor((Math.random()*9)+1));
        }
        else {
        player
        }

        if (Pocahantas === True) {
        player.SetVar("RandNum",Math.floor((Math.random()*9)+1));
        }
        else {
        player
        }

        if (Merida === True) {
        player.SetVar("RandNum",Math.floor((Math.random()*9)+1));
        }
        else {
        player
        }

        if (Jasmine === True) {
        player.SetVar("RandNum",Math.floor((Math.random()*9)+1));
        }
        else {
        player
        }

        if (SnowWhite === True) {
        player.SetVar("RandNum",Math.floor((Math.random()*9)+1));
        }
        else {
        player
        }

        if (Ariel === True) {
        player.SetVar("RandNum",Math.floor((Math.random()*9)+1));
        }
        else {
        player
        }

        if (Rapunzel === True) {
        player.SetVar("RandNum",Math.floor((Math.random()*9)+1));
        }
        else {
        player
        }

      Very nice Alexander. I like that the bingo is actually a challenge in its own right. A proper game! Cool.

    Here is my entry. I've been lurking and learning from you all for about a year and decided to finally jump in with this one. I don't have Storyline, so it is in Powerpoint. One of the courses I just started this semester is Mobile Learning, so I went with Mobile Learning buzzwords and in the spirit of pumpkin spice everything which is appearing much too early, I used a Fall theme, but avoided the temptation to have my markers be leaves or pumpkins.

        Hi Heather, thanks. and it is good to know I'm not the only newcomer.
        I just noticed that my board downloads looking differently than the final I created. In my version only a few of the terms have text wrapping to the next line and that was intentional. I will need to play with it so it looks neater. Not sure why that happened.

    Very cool Karen! I love the sound effects and having the question pop up separately - I'll definitely try to duplicate this. They say "Imitation is the best form of flattery" - I think a lot of us may imitate your entry!

      Thank you... I did have some trouble. I wanted to make the questions random, but I did not know how to do it. So it is stuck on the same result.

    I have to confess something; I had never played Bingo until a staff meeting two weeks ago. It was really fun. Then I decided to create a Bingo game. In our language school, we started a Hero concept for children. We are going to try to make their learning process more gamified and fun. So, I wanted to prepare a game which can support the marketing of the idea.

    P.S. Special thanks to Jackie Van Nice for the inspiration.

      Beautifully done, Ridvan! The timer is a great idea and you've given the whole thing great energy. I used Rosetta Stone's courses and games to learn Turkish before going to Turkey, but this is way more fun than those. Maybe you need to make a TFL version to accompany your EFL version??? :-D

        Hmm, that's an interesting idea. I have never thought about. I can try and see how it seems. Thank you for the idea.

      Thanks, Jackie. I hope you'll have time for some bingo magic before you leave for vacation.

        I hope so! Still planning to play along in the toggle/switch challenge, too. Just need to come up with a fabulous new idea for a client first. (Perhaps a course centered around a bingo card that uses creative little switches? Hmm...)
