Cool interactive cities for history lessons at Saxion

Saxion, one of the largest universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands, brings history to life for its students. As part of their history major, students explore cities across the Netherlands and Germany. To modernise these excursions, Saxion created interactive city maps that let students discover historical locations in a playful, engaging way. The first map was an instant success. Students especially loved the competition element, which added excitement to the learning experience. Encouraged by the results, Saxion quickly started working on additional interactive city maps. A perfect example of how storytelling and gamification can boost education.
