This project is an educational experience to teach students and social media users about journalism and how to make news. Throughout the experience players will make their own version of a news article and receive feedback from a journalist.
Responsibilities
For this experience I designed a whole gamified structure where journalists can fill a template with their crafted story. The main focus of the project was to teach how different ways of telling news and different perspectives and influence the whole story.
-Designing flow and structure of the experience based on journalist, teachers, and users need
-Add gamification elements to make the experience more fun, and put an emphasis to the more important points
-Designing templates that are relevant for the experience, and easy to fill by teachers and journalists.
-Make different iterations based on partners’ feedback and needs and test results.
