Five Fabulous Map-Inspired Examples Your Learners Will Love

We’ve all used maps at one point or another to help us understand where we’re going or to strengthen our recall of specific items and locations. Maps are an effective tool to use in e-learning to entice learners to explore new information with a familiar approach.

E-Learning developers use maps to show locations of objects, to guide learners from one point to another, share information about multiple places, or to help learners conceptualize themes with visual context. When learners have access to map-inspired interactions, their natural inclination is to dig into the details and explore the map to learn more. 

If you’re looking for an enticing way to get your learners exploring and learning, don’t miss these map-themed examples and downloads:
