Gamified Learning | What is 5S

Hi Heroes. I'd like to share a recent project developed for our Supply Chain teams. The course has now been rolled out to over 900 learners and has received very positive feedback.

I designed a 15-minute Articulate Storyline course introducing the fundamentals of 5S. The goal was to transform a traditional Lean Manufacturing topic into a more engaging digital learning experience.

One of the highlights is a gamified 5S activity. This activity was originally delivered in the classroom using cardboard number cards. Recreating it in Storyline with all sorts of number variables and calculations was a challenge🙃.

Some of the features include:

  • Custom-built 5S game using Storyline variables and calculations.
  • Advanced reporting using JavaScript to capture learner responses and game results in an online Excel spreadsheet.
  • Selection of male or female narration.

Anyone working in Manufacturing or Continuous Improvement? What topics or activities do you think could be transformed into a gamified learning experience?

      Thank you DShaw​. Had to look up Bennett Foddy 😄. Never heard of him before. Yes, I used Australian voices as I'm working in Sydney for an Australian business. 

  • This is so cool Andreas_Fischer​! 🤩 And fun (and challenging!)

    Love seeing how you translated a physical exercise into a digital experience. I'd love to see more examples like this. Has anyone else here taken an in-person activity and rebuilt it in Storyline?

    PS: We will be featuring this in an upcoming Weekly Newsletter. Be sure to subscribe if you want to get that in your inbox.

      Thank you LeilaMahmoudi​ . If you let me know which part, you'd like to know more about I'm very happy to explain how I created the interactions or features.

        HI Andreas_Fischer​ the game of the numbers was very interesting (from where we are asked to enter the productivity target to the end of round 4). I want to learn which variables and states you use. If you can share those slides, I would appreciate it.
