Serious Games + Smart Implementation = Win: 7 Keys to Success
Speaker: Steven Boller
From the TechKnowledge 2016 Conference: Serious games have the potential to engage and motivate your learners . . . and to drive long-term retention of business-critical knowledge. But what does it take to make a game successful in your organization? Unfortunately, many game-based learning initiatives fail because they are not implemented or evaluated correctly. Fortunately, successful implementation starts with effective design. This session explores how serious games can be linked to learning science to increase retention of product knowledge, policies, procedures, basic facts, and more. Then, the speaker will share four case studies from organizations that successfully implemented a serious game that drove business results. The commonalities from these 'success stories' will be used to demonstrate seven actionable implementation tips that help make games more effective for learning.
