WordTwist: A fun code-based game
Hey everyone! I finished creating WordTwist, a lighthearted quiz game to spice up e-learning sessions. It’s built using plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with some help from AI—super easy to tweak and drop into existing projects. Players unscramble letters to discover key words while answering a quick question. They can shuffle letters if they get stuck, remove a mistake, or even reveal the answer (though that yields zero points). All you have to do is customize the question and answer array in the code, and voilà—instant quiz. Give WordTwist a try through this link and let me know what you think. Feel free to share any creative ways you end up using it, or suggest improvements to the game if you think of any!Wings or Flames - Halloween Jeopardy Game
Hi Articulate Heroes! I was super excited about this week’s challenge (I love Halloween!), but time got away from me between all the spooky—and not-so-spooky—activities. My original plan was to create a full Halloween Edition of my Jeopardy-style game: new graphics, UI, questions, and sound effects (based on the same build I used for my cooking-themed game). But since the deadline arrived and my idea turned out to be a bit ambitious, I’ve only managed to complete the first category: Creepy Creatures (and it still needs some testing too). Feel free to check it out! I’m hoping to finish the rest of the game and do some proper testing by the end of the week. Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃 Wings or FlamesWelcome to the Respectful Workplace Behaviour Gamified Training!

Game Design: Development & Review #472: Challenge | Recap Welcome to the third week of our e-learning game design challenge. Last week, you built a working prototype from your storyboard or design concept. This week, you’ll focus on bringing the core elements of the e-learning game together to create a detailed and functional model. Your game should be far enough along to submit for final QA and testing. 🏆 Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to share a fully developed version of the game that incorporates all designed elements, interactive features, animations, and multimedia components. Optional: Since this is our last week of development before submitting the final project, let a few friends or fellow challengers play your game and gather feedback in Review 360. It’s the best way to spot any problems and see what people like or don’t like. I know many of you have been gathering feedback all along, but I’d like to highlight the testing and review process this week. Week 1: Concept & Storyboarding Week 2: Design & Prototyping Week 3: Development & Review Goal: Develop a detailed and functional version of your game Deliverables: Apply and refine the visual design elements Integrate the interactive elements, animations, and multimedia components Refine the visual design and user interface to enhance the overall user experience Submit to Review 360 for user testing and feedback (optional but encouraged) Share a link to your project Week 4: Final Testing & Project Submission 🚨 NOTE: Even if you didn’t participate last week, you’re still welcome to join this week’s challenge. Ideally, you’ll complete all four weeks, but any participation is appreciated. Share what you can. 🙌 Last Week’s Challenge: Before you complete your game design, check out the interactive prototypes your fellow challengers shared over the past week: Interactive Prototypes in E-Learning RECAP #471: Challenge | Recap 👋 New to the E-Learning Challenges?

🚀 Esta semana participé junto con CAMPOS OROZCO ELIA PAULINA en el #ElearningChallenge diseñando una actividad interactiva con scaffolding para ayudar a los jugadores a desarrollar habilidades de priorización bajo presión. 🎮 “Prioriza o Colapsa” es un mini-juego donde los usuarios clasifican tareas que van apareciendo cada vez más rápido y con menos ayudas visuales, hasta enfrentarse al caos de un nivel final sin apoyo, a contrarreloj, y con dos tareas simultáneas. 💡 La progresión de dificultad (niveles 1, 2 y 3) promueve confianza inicial, independencia progresiva y toma de decisiones rápidas, cumpliendo los principios de chunking y fade-out de ayuda. 👉 Puedes verlo aquí: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/46cd160f-1926-46f4-8e5a-20a97c7f0466/reviewBuilding E-Learning Games: Concept & Storyboard #470
Game Show Design: Storyboards #470: Challenge | Recap How in the world did you build that? A common challenge for new course designers is seeing polished e-learning projects and having no clue how they came together. I hear from folks all the time that they want to do the weekly challenges, but it feels too advanced for beginners. So, for this challenge, we're going to pump the brakes and spread the build over four weeks. We’ll follow a linear development model so we can really dig into and focus on common development steps. I realize experienced designers will prefer a more iterative approach for real-world projects. And that's fair. But using a progressive, step-by-step approach should help new users follow the evolution of an e-learning challenge project from concept to deliverable. Plus, it gives us something tangible to show each week. Week 1: The Concept & Visual Storyboard This first week, we’ll focus on the initial game show theme or concept. Your task will be to create a wireframe, flowchart, or visual storyboard that captures the flow of your game. For new users, this helps you work intentionally through your ideas before jumping into development. And for you pros, this might seem like extra work, but slowing it down will help others visualize how polished interactions come together. Here’s a breakdown of the four-week schedule: Week 1: Concept & Storyboarding Week 2: Prototype Development Week 3: Development & Review Week 4: Final Testing & Project Submission 🏆 Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to develop an e-learning game show concept and present a visual, non-interactive storyboard or flowchart of your game’s mechanics and visual elements. You can either create something new or take an old project and break it down with us over the four weeks. This way, everyone can see how it all comes together. Week 1: Concept & Storyboarding Goal: Choose a game show concept and design theme Deliverables: Choose a game show concept, theme and design style Create a visual storyboard, flowchart, or static mock-up of the game Share a link to your static design concept Week 2: Design & Prototyping Week 3: Production & Development Week 4: Final Testing & Project Submission ✨ Share Your E-Learning Work Comments: Use the comments section below to link your published example and blog post.

Labeled graphics interactions are one of the most popular interactions because they’re easy to create and only need a single image to turn static visuals into interactive, explore-type activities. Similarly, 360° images offer the same ease of creation but on a whole new level. They bring static images to life, allowing learners to explore real-world environments as if they were actually there. And that’s what this week’s challenge is all about! 🏆 Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to show how 360° images can be used in e-learning. If you're a Rise 360, the 360° images feature is a fantastic way to enhance your courses by using Rise 360's Storyline blocks. 🏞️ Looking for 360° Panoramic Stock Photos? Storyline 360 supports equirectangular panoramas in all standard image formats for creating 360° image interactions.
