Case Study: Middle School Financial Education boosts student financial knowledge with ELB Learning's game-based eLearning

Using games to increase student's knowledge and give them the tools to create a better financial future

Middle School Financial Education, a provider of financial literacy courses for students, partnered with ELB Learning to create an engaging course that would equip middle school students with the tools to make sound financial decisions. Their challenge was to develop a scalable digital solution that would effectively teach financial concepts and demonstrate a measurable increase in student knowledge.

ELB Learning's solution was a narrative-driven game where students act as a town mayor, making financial choices across seven interactive modules. The solution also included a companion life-simulation app. The results were significant: the course reached over 2.4 million students and logged over 5 million learning hours. A study found that 90% of students saw a meaningful increase in financial knowledge, with 50% increasing their assessment scores by 20 points or more, proving the effectiveness of ELB Learning's approach.
