Remember last year’s e-learning challenge, where we looked at transforming static infographics into interactive infographics? You guys came up with some amazing examples making that one of our most popular challenges.

Last week, an infographic from Inc.com resurfaced. The infographic is really one large simulation map to help managers determine their leadership style.

There’s even an interactive version of the same infographic.

Since both of these infographics are similar to the branching scenarios we build in e-learning, they make the perfect starting point for a weekly challenge!

This week’s challenge

This week your challenge is to build a branching interaction based on the What Kind of Leader Are You? infographic.

This challenge is all about interpreting an existing simulation map and bringing it to life. Use whatever design style you like. This can include using characters, boxes and arrows, LOL Cats or anything else you can dream up. We just want to see what you can come up with using the infographic as a starting point.

Tools

You can use Articulate Storyline, Articulate Studio ’09, Articulate Studio ’13, or PowerPoint to create your branching simulation.

Dan - THANK YOU! I was staring at those final slides thinking "I need to do something here...it feels disconnected". I just updated it with your advice - thank you again. Thank you Kimberly. In terms of the prehistoric route idea. I actually was Googling images in relation to 'motivation' for the first prompt, and of course came across a T-Rex picture.

I actually followed this guidance: https://community.articulate.com/articles/how-to-share-your-e-learning-course-for-free-with-google-drive As for the Olympics course - thank you, it was fun to create! As I often do these challenges in an intense rush/block, the files are a bit messy, but I do want to clean them up and release ... Expand
