Set up as a coverage learning challenge, a user navigated through a virtual site to identify which “clickable” assets in the game environment were covered or not covered under a typical Builders’ Risk policy. When the user clicked on assets like cranes, temporary fencing, or piles of bricks, they were prompted to identify if they were typically covered under a Builders’ Risk policy. Depending on the user’s choices, assets would glow green or red and either increased or decreased the learner’s score.
