This paper aims to examine the validity and reliability of MapsTell, a behavioral tool used to facilitate behavioral change in classroom and online learning settings.

Two hypotheses have been proposed to be tested: 1) MapsTell is an engaging educational tool that can facilitate behavioral change in classroom settings, and 2) MapsTell is a reliable tool to facilitate online teaching and learning in a fun way.

Data will be collected from educators and their students attending the IChrie and EuroChrie 2023 conferences in Phoenix, Arizona and Vienna, Austria, respectively, using a self-developed survey and a rating scale, along with the MapsTell tool.

Practitioners and students that have done the Mapstell training and assessment have reported overwhelming positive experiences using the tool. Validation of these oral comments can be verified, and further the versatility and usability of the instrument in this and follow-up studies can be tested.
