Recommendations
• Step One: Visualize what you want the learner to be doing during the game or gamification experience and what you want them to learn.• Start first with the knowledge or behavior you want
the learner to be exhibiting.

Games 4.0
A game is a system in which players engage in an abstract challenge, defined by rules,
interactivity and feedback that results in a quantifiable outcome
often eliciting an emotional reaction.”
Are games effective for learning?

- Realistic simulators for contemporary Leadership Training
- Integrate these games into leadership development programs
- Attempt various leadership structures
-Employees may make hundreds of leadership decision an hour in a game

Example
TransferThe ability of simulations to teach skills that transfer to real-life, on-the-job situations seems abundantly positive… Computer-based simulations—assessed as an alternative to other means of training, as a supplement to other means of training, as a device to combat skill decay in experienced trainees, and as a means of improving performance levels as they stand prior to training—show positive results for transfer a majority of the time.
In 22 out of 26 studies, trainees demonstrated equal or superior transfer to the control group from simulations.

• Step Two: Identify the instructional objectives that support the game or gamified experience you are creating.• What does the person need to learn or practice to
display the outcome you desire.

Recommendations 1) Use a game/simulation to provide a context for the
learning.
2) Don’t focus on “entertainment” or “fun.”
3) Carefully craft the simulation/game to provide opportunities to increase engagement and interactivity to increase learning.

What Learning Outcomes do you Want?
Use game-based mechanics, aesthetics and game thinking to engage people, motivate
action, promote learning, and solve problems.

2 weeks after launching Courses (powered by gamification), CourseHero received 350 suggested edits to existing courses and 122 requests for new courses.
Another 68 people offered to augment existing courses by creating their own course to be hosted on coursehero.com.
Since the implementation of gamification elements, time on site overall has increased around 5 percent.
For Gamified courses, the time on site for the Courses are nearly three times as long as time onsite for all of coursehero.com.
Social sharing of achievements increased nearly 400 percent in three months.
Some people think Gamification is only about points, badges, progress bars and rewards…
PBL (Points, Badges, Leader Boards)…
… if it was, this would be the most engaging game in the world.
20% increase in profile completion.
… but the possibilities of “gamification” are far larger than points, badges, rewards and
leaderboards.
Ok, great stuff but…how do I get started?
Questions to Ask?
• What is the outcome of the game?– What do we want the learner to know how to do
when done playing the game?
• What are the tasks that must be demonstrated in the game to achieve the outcome?
• How can we verify the outcome as been achieved?
Questions to Ask
• What is the “message” of the game?• What will make the game “educational”?• What qualities of the game will make it
effective or ineffective?• What could be done to make the game
engaging?
Element ExampleOverview of Concept
The concept is to create a web-based single player online game for pharmaceutical sales representatives that provide engaging, relevant, and personalized learning on the topic of opening and closing a conversation with a physician. Topics covered in the game are tied to our ABC engagement model. The game is based on a realistic setting of a physician’s office. It will happen from a third-person perspective. The learner will be evaluated on credibility, affability and the ability to become an information source for the physician.
Outcome Pharmaceutical sales representatives will properly use the ABC model to gain more time with the physician and become a valuable resource to the physician.
Instructional Objectives
At the end of the game, the learners will be able to:Properly apply the three steps of an ABC opening.Properly apply the two steps of the ABC closing.Appropriately prepare for a call on a physician.AffectiveBehave in a warm, friendly, professional manner toward the physician.
Write down a game or gamification
concept you have.
