Operation Lapis

On the 10th anniversary of Operation LAPIS, we’re incredibly excited to show off a preview of version 2.0.

While the game-based learning and role-playing aspects of the curriculum are powerful tools for situated learning to occur, LAPIS was a complex environment inaccessible to most instructors and students.

The entire role-playing narrative is in the process of being converted into a sprawling choose-your-own-adventure experience and with it comes a number of user improvements for instructors and students alike.

If you are unfamiliar with Operation LAPIS, we suggest you explore the introductory materials first.

Explore the Curricular Overview for the first episode or go straight to Episode 1.1: The Boy in the Tree

For each of the episodes, the curricular overview will provide the following for instructors:

  • Essential Questions which spiral through the curriculum
  • Cultural and Historical Learning Targets which tie to the Essential Questions
  • Performance Descriptors from the Standards as reference
  • Episode Plot Synopsis
  • Direct links to instructional resources (which can be utilized in any LMS):
    • The start of the choose-your-own-adventure episode
    • Supplemental informational and fictional texts
