Although British Waterways already had a strong educational web presence in the form of their WOW website it was decided that many areas were need of re-branding. Numerous games were becoming outdated and it was identified that the selection of activities would benefit greatly from a new and more appealing interface.
The metaphor of a canal side scene was used to create the new interface. Users drag the scene along from left to right in order to find the hidden activities. It was felt that this method of navigation would encourage the learner to spend longer exploring the various games, adding to the sense of mystery and motivation.
This is an example of new activity developed for the British Waterways WOW website. The ‘Who am I?’ game was designed to focus upon Wildlife identification. It aims to compliment the existing selection of games and activities and embraces the established WOW graphical style.
