E-Learning Challenge #62: Challenge | Recap

It happened again. You swore you wouldn’t let them sneak up on you and yet, the holidays are here! It was only a few weeks ago that you survived a zombie apocalypse.

Help your fellow community members get a jump on things by sharing your favorite holiday survival tips in this week’s challenge! We know you’re busy so we’re making this week’s challenge an easy one. Take a gander at the following interactives to get some holiday challenge ideas.

Infoposter Quiz

A few years ago Goodwill published a popular infoposter that identified seven types of holiday sweaters. An idea for adapting this example would be to ask users to first identify the type of holiday they’re trying to survive (family feuds, travel trauma, cooking catastrophes, etc) and then branch to a solution.

Seven Types of Holiday Sweaters: Which one are you?

      I love the interaction Allison!
      I had to repeat baking few times - I'm a horrible cupcakes maker although you provided the handy recipe lightbox ;) But I finally got it.
      The slider for milk measuring was very clever.
      Very well done.

        Thanks, Joanna! My mom did it while they were visiting over Thanksgiving and I think she needed about 8 attempts before she finally got it. I was surprised at how difficult it was for the woman who taught me how to bake to follow a recipe.

      Hi Pamela and welcome to the Community! I enjoyed playing your games! I can tell you put a lot of effort into it and I liked the fact that I was left to my own devices to figure out which ones were real stops and which ones were distractions. I look forward to viewing more entries in 2015 :)

        Hi David, thank you for your warm welcome and feedback. I had to chuckle to myself when you said it took a few attempts, this was intentional to force the user to think about the possibilities. Also, in real life not everything goes as originally planned, thus the reason for including distractions. I'm pleased you liked the demo.

        Also, I've noticed that a couple of the instructional layers were missing from the start, and it jumps straight into the activity. It was working fine when I tested it last night, but not today. Any ideas what happened to those layers? I'm puzzled to what happened!

      Hi Pamela - Welcome to the challenges! Loved your demo. It was far more challenging than my real Christmas shopping was this year. Definitely kept me on my toes. Thanks for sharing it!

        Hi Jackie, thank you for your feedback, I'm pleased you loved the demo. As I mentioned in my reply to David, real life has its challenges and distractions, and this was my way of including them in a genuine way.
