“Avoid the soul-sucking voice of reasonableness, because your learners deserve better!” – Monica Cornetti

When it comes to creating gamified or game-based learning experiences, most practitioners throw game mechanics at a program without a methodology or rational strategy – and hope it will work.

They assume that what is fun for them will be fun for their participants. The result is a hit-or-miss mashup and a messy learner experience. When budgets and time are in short supply, organizations can no longer afford such an approach.

In his webinar Monica & Jonathan outline a practical approach to determining which game mechanics will motivate a targeted audience. No more one-size-fits-all training programs; your learners are demanding more… and they deserve it!

In this webinar you’ll explore:

1. Who:  Who are your learners and how can you use learner personas?
2. What: What will be “fun” for specific participants?
3. Why:  Why do some people like competition while others prefer quiet concentration, and still others enjoy letting it all ride on black?
4. How:  How can an empirically-based taxonomy of core human desires predict what will work and what won’t?

Now, instead of trying to force everyone to play, you’ll create experiences they want to engage with.
