Discovering the school library and career guidance: playful paths to guide students

The school library is a central place, but students often overlook how much it offers. With Moiki EDU, school librarians build interactive discovery paths.

The school library is a central place in any school, but students often overlook how much it offers. With Moiki EDU, school librarians build interactive paths that turn a library visit into a treasure hunt, the discovery of resources into an adventure, and career guidance steps into a guided journey.

The interactive format is ideal for these uses: students explore at their own pace, discover the spaces and services by doing, and remember more than they would from a traditional guided tour.

Concrete examples

A library discovery game

Created by Cécile Diet of the Besançon education authority, this interactive game was designed for the school's open day. Prospective students and their families explore the library independently through an interactive path they can follow on a tablet or phone. At each step they discover a space (reading corner, computer stations, book collection, careers area) and answer a question to move on.

The project smoothed out the open day: visitors no longer waited for an adult to be free for a tour, they simply started the path. The game was also used to welcome new classes at the start of the school year.

"The time spent building the path was paid back by the time saved afterwards." Cécile Diet, school librarian, Besançon education authority

An interactive culture-pass guide

This interactive path guides students through discovering and using the French Pass Culture on the ADAGE platform. Instead of a PDF tutorial nobody reads, students follow an interactive path that walks them through it step by step: creating the account, browsing the cultural offer, booking an activity.

At each step, choices are offered depending on the student's situation (age, school, interests). The path adapts and provides the relevant information. It is an original use of Moiki EDU showing that the tool goes well beyond fiction.

Beyond the library: guidance and school life

Moiki EDU interactive paths can support many other moments of school life, particularly as part of a project-mode rollout:

Welcoming new students: an interactive path to discover the school, its rules and its resources.
Career guidance: a path helping students explore study routes according to their interests.
Cultural projects: an interactive guide to prepare a school trip or make the most of an exhibition.

Subjects concerned

Library and information skills: discovering the library, research skills, media literacy
School life: welcome, school charter, prevention
Guidance: discovering study routes, cultural schemes, higher education applications
Cross-curricular: cultural projects, theme weeks, open days

Practical advice

Think mobile. Discovery paths are often used while walking around the school. Make sure your story works well on phones and tablets. Moiki EDU produces responsive stories by default.
Add photos of the places. For a path discovering the library or the school, illustrate each step with real photographs. Students then connect the screen with the physical space.
Reuse it year after year. The advantage of an interactive path over a guided tour is that it can be reused. Update it each September rather than rebuilding it.
Measure the impact. Moiki EDU shows how many people have gone through your story. Use those statistics to assess how useful the path is and to improve it.

What teachers say

"The students who did the interactive library path in September knew how to find their way and use the resources by October. In previous years we had to wait until January." School librarian, upper secondary
