Creating a Learning Game with “Play to Learn”

So excited to have the ability to say that PLAY TO LEAN, the e book Sharon Boller and I’ve been crafting, writing and assembling is lastly obtainable.

The e book relies on a workshop we’ve been conducting for years and combines our findings, greatest practices, aha moments and sport design pondering insights.  We’ve put these “lessons learned” into one place so your improvement of a studying sport could be a lot simpler than our trials and tribulations. This is the e book we want we had once we first began growing studying video games a long time in the past–full with worksheets, suggestions and tips and sound recommendation. Even pattern scoring tables.

It is a step-by-step sequence for eLearning Designers/Developers, Instructional Designers, Faculty and anybody else making a studying sport. It’s obtained examples, worksheets and even a hyperlink to a sport you’ll be able to play to bolster data from the e book.

It’s not targeted on digital video games both, we speak about studying board video games, studying card video games and studying cell video games.

I recommend one of the best ways to learn the e book is to kind a “book club”, talk about the e book and implement the concepts from each chapter every week (you’ll be able to mix the primary two weeks) and you then’ll be making a studying sport very quickly (nicely, in 8 weeks in the event you do a  chapter per week combining the primary and second week–however you get the thought).

So to assist everybody be taught a little bit extra concerning the e book so you’ll be able to see if it’s best for you and your workforce, we’ve put collectively a tour with each weblog stops and reside stops.

Here is the record and, please be a part of the tour, we’d love to listen to what your expertise is with studying video games. Also, search for just a few shock stops. I had a beautiful dialog the opposite day with sensible sport design thinker Amy Jo Kim and that dialogue shall be posted shortly. Also, my good friend Kevin Kruse and I are getting collectively quickly and I do know we’ll have an amazing dialog you’ll need to take heed to as nicely.

So verify again right here usually for brand new stops.

To be taught much more, you’ll be able to even attend a webinar the place Sharon and I will share suggestions and greatest practices from the e book.
