Faculty builder

Build a Mastery Quest around the work you need to do.

Choose one or more faculty goals. The page will show only the composer, guides, templates, and tools that match those goals.

Start with your goal

What are you trying to do?

Select one or more goals. You can change your selections at any time without losing work inside the composer.

Select faculty goals

Existing economics concepts

Faculty Concept Composer

Select concepts by course area, review concept-readiness guidance, choose supported modes, confirm checkpoint coverage, and generate a self-contained Mastery Quest. Published question records use hashed correct-answer representations rather than plain numeric answer indexes.

01

Choose content and modes

Select a course area, concepts, and the modes students will use.

02

Choose appearance and check readiness

Apply a theme, adjust artwork if needed, and resolve any coverage gaps.

03

Generate and deploy

Download the self-contained game and reusable recipe, then publish the game at an HTTPS address for your LMS.

Embedded composer Selections and generated files remain in your browser.

Blank template + question authoring

Create a quest for your own subject

Start from the current blank ten-mode faculty template, then use the authoring references to build and validate your own question architecture. The economics Composer remains the faster path when its concept library fits your course.

Course deployment

Prepare the game for your LMS

Host the generated HTML file at a public HTTPS URL, test that URL, and then link or embed the game in your LMS. Graphs are embedded and Concept Reviews open from the Mastery Quests web library when recommended, so no sibling asset or review folder is required. Published answers are stored as hashes rather than plain answer indexes, adding practical answer-key hardening without requiring server-side hosting.

Deployment hardening

Hashed answers, no backend required

Generated games do not publish correct answers as plain numeric option indexes. LMS iframe deployment adds additional inspection friction while keeping the activity portable. This is practical answer-key hardening, not a substitute for server-side secure-exam infrastructure.

Before you choose modes

Mode selection changes the learning engine, not just the game mechanic.

A generated Mastery Quest does not treat every mode as the same assessment with different artwork. The mode determines how questions are selected, whether targeted remediation may interrupt the run, and how strongly the post-run report is allowed to interpret the evidence.

Full adaptive practice

Standard, Timed, Exam Drill, Score Attack, Unlimited

These modes use ongoing adaptive selection and can route students into targeted Repair, Bridge, and Retest questions when repeated evidence supports remediation.

Instructor assessment

Quiz stays balanced

Quiz is designed so it can function as an actual instructor-assigned quiz. It samples across the selected bank and planned difficulty range without turning early misses into weakness-chasing.

Short game modes

Calibrate, then investigate

Fading Fortune, Risk & Reward, and Trial by Graph use broad cold-start calibration before constrained adaptive investigation. They do not create repair detours, and their reports remain explicit about limited evidence.

Using Mastery Quests with students?

Tell me how you’re using it.

If you use a Mastery Quests game in a course, I’d love to hear what you tried and how it went. Classroom use and faculty feedback will help guide future development and may support future research on game-based practice, adaptive learning, and student engagement.

Share your classroom use

Send a quick faculty note

A short email is enough. If possible, include your institution, course or discipline, approximate number of students, what you used, and how you used it.

Future research

Interested in collaborating?

If you may be interested in future research involving Mastery Quests, mention that in your note. No student data are requested here; this is simply a way to identify faculty who may want to stay involved as the project develops.

Private by default

The composer works in your browser.

Faculty selections and generated question data are not sent to a Mastery Quests server. Generated games keep progress and run data in the learner's browser. Nothing is automatically transmitted; a results or CSV file leaves the browser only when the learner intentionally downloads and submits it through an instructor-directed course workflow.
