Interactive Maps #86: Challenge | Recap

Challenge of the Week

This week your challenge is to show us where you live by creating an interactive map of your town or city. You can use any combination of photos, audio, and video to create your interactive map.

In previous challenges, you created webcam videos to introduce yourself, shared how you work as course designers, showed us your e-learning portfolios, and even told us what you don’t like hearing as an instructional designer.

This week, we want you to show us all about your city or town with an interactive map. Showcase your favorite attractions, tourism spots, points of interest, or places that are special to you.

Interactive Map Ideas

  • Photo tour of your favorite coffee shops restaurants
  • Top 5 places to visit in your city
  • Video interview 3-5 people
  • Take a photo walk around your city
  • Music landmarks in your city
  • History and landmarks

      Pretty cool, Bridget!
      I like how you can choose a category so not all dots are on the map at once. Provides nice organization! Very tricky!
      I also like the post card theme!

    Hi!
    I'm new to the challenges, so I went all out on this one for you guys! I hope you like it! :)
    I could have done this simply in Rise, but I'm new to Storyline (a Captivate girl!) :) --and wanted to learn it, so I used Storyline.


    Note: I was trying to host it via Bitballoon (and get a sharable link from that) but it said it can't find the "index.html file"... I tried renaming the "story_html5" file to index.html but that didn't work. It's odd because just dragging my Rise project zip folder to Bit Balloon worked before... but this project was a Storyline 2 file published for web. --It's always something.


    Let me know if you have trouble viewing! Thanks!

      Correy, you really DID go all out! Wow, props on a fantastic, professional project. I hope the Toledo Chamber of Commerce is going to compensate you for this. Plus, now I know what a Mud Hen is, what the 419 is, and the fact that I can get a hot dog in Toledo.

      Of course, being a native Chicagoan, the hot dog is going to be a tough sell. ;o)

        Ha! :) Thank, Bridget!
        --you know... it's funny you mention that-- selling it to our city's chamber of commerce! The thought of proposing that has crossed my mind!
        Thanks for the stellar review! After I got over the learning curve, I found I could really move in the platform.
        I'm glad you appreciated the learning experience. I actually learned some things about our town too! --I didn't even know a Mud Hen was a REAL bird! :D

        PS... I'm still trying to figure out in my mind how you made that "dot" interaction work... nice work with multiple triggers!
