Idea
Background
Coming out of FinanceMission: Heroes, the engagement towards teaching financial literacy in Swiss schools was renewed for several more years. However, it was time to address several shortcomings of Heroes: The new system needed to be more modular, more involved for teachers and able to cover a broader range of financial topics. The result was FinanceMission World, a gamified eLearning platform in the world of FinanceMission Heroes.
Gameplay:
The city of FinanceMission World is divided into multiple districts. Every district has one clear financial topic as a theme. Within every district the players can complete interactive eLearnings to learn about that topic and earn digital currency to customize their hero. To increase the engagement further, a story is told in every district. It starts with an interactive “Highlight Content”, which can be an animation, visual novel or minigame, which introduces characters from that district. By completing all necessary eLearnings you will then also get the panels of an ending comic that finishes up the events afterwards.
Design:
With the overall design of the gamified plattforms we wanted adress mutliple shortcomings by giving teachers more control over the currculum. Teachers can register their classes, control access to the districts, select what eLearnings they need to do and even create their own if they wish to. They will also be presented with stats and results of the eLearnings so they have a full overview of how their classes are doing. This new step empowers teachers like never before.
And the modular nature of the whole system allowed the platform to be expanded over several years, launching multiple new districts with new topics, themes and stories.
