Why games?
Play Game
“I learned SO much by playing this game. It was
tons of fun. I learned more by
playing this game than any webinar,
meeting, or document I’ve encountered.”
“Mind-blowing”
“Can you create
more stuff like this?”
Annika, Age 8

Why do games work? 1
3 2
The short answer?
Because they are FUN.

Expert view: Carnegie Mellon…. To progress in a game is to learn; when we are ac3vely engaged with a game, our minds are experiencing the pleasure of grappling with (and coming to understand) a new system. (Jessica Trybus, New Media InsLtute’s resident Game-‐based Learning and CommunicaLons Guru and Director of Edutainment for Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center.)

But what’s FUN?
• Winning • Achieving goals • Triumphing • Collaborating • Exploring and building • Collecting • Problem-solving or strategizing • Role playing or imagining • Surprise – surprising others and
being surprised ourselves.

Breaking it down further: Feedback
“The premise of a feedback loop is simple: Provide people with informaLon about their acLons in real Lme, then give them a chance to change those acLons, pushing them toward be%er behaviors.” Wired Magazine, June 19, 2011
www.bo%omlineperformance.com
![Page 11: Power of Play - Learning With Knowledge Guru](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052307/5549b6aab4c90564768b4bb3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Breaking it down further: Feedback School district had huge problem with speeding. Tried replacing old signs with bigger, new ones, LckeLng people during drop-‐off, pick-‐up Lmes. Nothing worked. What finally gave measurable improvement was “dynamic speed displays” or driver feedback signs. “Your speed.” Signs have proven to be consistently effecLve, gecng people to slow by 10 mph over several miles. They work because they leverage a feedback loop.

Today’s agenda

What is the Knowledge Guru? A solution to a problem we’ve seen over and over
with our clients.
![Page 15: Power of Play - Learning With Knowledge Guru](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052307/5549b6aab4c90564768b4bb3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
We wanted… For people to be able to PLAY
For them to LEARN while they played.
For clients to TRACK what people were learning
(or not learning)
And for players to REMEMBER, long after they played.
And…we wanted people to be able to play across multiple devices: desktop,
iPad, or Android tablet via web app or native app. We wanted a solution that
could work independently of an LMS…or be Tin Can compliant so it COULD
work with an LMS

What Did Folks Say…
The game was great! It was a fun way to learn about MobileConnect. I enjoyed the scenario-type questions,
which put it all in perspective.”
I’m a pretty competitive person, so challenging myself to get one of the top scores added a layer of fun to learning about the MobileConnect
product. The repetition of the different paths
helped me retain the information.
