Journey to Mount Cocoon
A game-based digital learning experience designed to enable government school teachers to implement activity-based-learning in their classrooms.
Journey to Mount Cocoon
2024
Journey to Mount Cocoon
2024
Background
Government school teachers are inundated with compulsory training and digital courses where the engagement and the learning transfer is really low.
Quest Alliance commissioned Fold Labs to create a course that could engage teachers deeply and deliver high-quality learning. Journey to Mount Cocoon fills the engagement and learning gap by taking the teacher-learners into a world of challenge and adventure where they use activity-based learning concepts to complete missions and save the day.
This project was part of The Karnataka Model Schools Pathways Program (KMSPP), supported by the Government of Karnataka, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), and Young India Philanthropic Pledge (YIPP), aimed to transform 105 schools across Karnataka and provide a scalable blueprint for NEP (National Education Policy) adoption. The research leading to this project can be found here.

HOW DID WE DELIVER LEARNING
MEMORABLE MNEMONICS
We created easy-to-recall mnemonics for each concept, providing simple formulas for retrieval and application.
ACTIONABLE TECHNIQUES
Every method and technique was broken down into concrete, actionable steps. This made it easier for teachers to apply them and build lasting behavioural change.
DECISION-BASED LEARNING
The experience was designed as a series of decisions the learners needed to make requiring them to immediately apply the concepts they were learning. This increased learner retention as they could actively process and apply the information.
RELATABLE SCENARIOS
The story world, though fantastical, mirrored real classroom challenges and teacher experiences increasing the likelihood of learning transfer and real-world application.
