I thought it would be fun to make an e-learning version, and this is what I came up with. If you’re familiar with the game, you’ll notice I’ve taken some creative liberties, but hopefully you’ll recognize some of the major mechanics of the original game. And whether or not you’re familiar with the game, I hope you and your learners will enjoy my take on it. Explore this project. Like the theme music? Get it from Pixabay.com.

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.

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.
