Thanks Linda. Maybe we can discuss further at our next meeting.

Hi Blandine. Thank you for the feedback. I will ask the author if she has a higher resolution version. In the meantime, the image is 800 pixels wide but the size the text will display will depend on the resolution of the screen on which it is being viewed. To see it as big as possible, have you tried right-clicking on the image and opening the picture in a new tab? You can then click on it to magnify it.

If that is not big enough, please feel free to save the image and open it outside the site. I have just tried this in Paint 3D and the text is not too pixellated to read, even at 400% magnification.

Thanks a lot for the infographic but unfortuntally the resolution is too low, especially for the “Main steps” part. How can wee see it in a better resolution please?

That seems to me to be key in a lot of educational games, it is the critical thinking skill, in a safe to fail environment, we are really trying to teach.
