Executive Learning Exchange (ELE)

During this session we’ll share the process we’ve gone through to implement tools to create a game based learning environment including use of Mozilla badges, leaderboards, and achievements. We applied these tools to develop a self-directed learning experience that allows the learner to demonstrate competencies through gameplay. We’ll facilitate a Round Table discussion on the use of gamification. We would like to have 2-3 participants on the round table to field questions or discuss ideas about how to use these and other tools to increase learning and performance on the job. If time permits, we will briefly demonstrate the tools in the application.
To help guide this roundtable discussion, we’ll encourage participants to share Gamification challenges, success stories and innovative experiments including - How do you:
<ol>
 	<li>Decide what type of game or gaming constructs to use in the learning experience?</li>
 	<li>Determine what type of incentives or motivational elements to include that promote engagement and completion?</li>
 	<li>Measure the change in behavior if you have implemented gamification elements into training and development?</li>
 	<li>Challenges you have had with getting support for investing in or using gamification in learning or performance improvement?</li>
 	<li>Employee perceptions of the use of gamification?</li>
</ol>

Gamification of the Workplace: Game-Based Learning Beyond the Classroom

How do leading companies engage learners and make learning fun? How do we go beyond the formal, traditional training event to providing performance support through gaming?
The purpose of this roundtable panel discussion is to share how various companies are implementing innovative gaming methods as a means of performance support.
To help guide the roundtable panel discussion, our facilitator will cover some or all of the following:

<ul>
 	<li>How do you envision gamification in your learning solutions for both traditional e-learning and mobile solutions?</li>
 	<li>What was leadership’s reaction when proposed gamification as a way to learn?</li>
 	<li>What are likely cultural hurtles encounter with gaming and tips for overcoming them?</li>
 	<li>What learner can reaction be expected?</li>
 	<li>Were you able to measure behavioral changes in your learners as a result of the game? How did you do this?</li>
 	<li>Did you have any analytics tied to your game? What do you think analytics can tell you about your learners?</li>
</ul>

The use of gaming elements is more prevalent outside the gaming community than ever. Millennials have matured in a society where gaming is part of everyday life. The purpose of this panel is to explore how mobile and gamification create a pull effect and drives engagement in social learning spaces. During this panel session we will explore examples of gamification and discuss how elements of gaming are applied in non-gaming media.
The second part of this session will involve asking a panel of Millennials questions about how they learn in the work environment, including:

<ul>
 	<li>How do you learn to do something for the first time?</li>
 	<li>How do you learn to do it better?</li>
 	<li>How do you define what you have learned?</li>
</ul>

Some of the most important training initiatives also present the most difficult challenges to practicing the new-found knowledge. Safety concerns, logistics problems, and other restrictions limit your options and decrease your training effectiveness. For Children’s Memorial Hospital, this was especially true of training for their evacuation procedures. It is impossible to practice a full evacuation of the hospital, which limited the realism of training efforts.
Virtual worlds like Second Life offer a solution. Using virtual worlds, you can build immersive simulations that mimic real-world events. Children’s Memorial Hospital partnered with Centrax Corporation to build a portion of the hospital in Second Life. Employees of the hospital will use an avatar to evacuate patients virtually and stage them for transfer. This provides an unprecedented level of realism. It also facilitates learning experiences that are impossible to capture with traditional e-learning or classroom training.
<ul>
 	<li>Make sure your initial plan provides room for expansion.</li>
 	<li>It is possible to create psychological fidelity (the perception of a correlation to the real world) without photo-realism.</li>
 	<li>And, naturally, keep it simple.</li>
</ul>

e-learning

The essential e-learning design manual, updated with the latest research, design principles, and examples

e-Learning and the Science of Instruction is the ultimate handbook for evidence-based e-learning design.

Since the first edition of this book, e-learning has grown to account for at least 40% of all training delivery media. However, digital courses often fail to reach their potential for learning effectiveness and efficiency.

This guide provides research-based guidelines on how best to present content with text, graphics, and audio as well as the conditions under which those guidelines are most effective.

This updated fourth edition describes the guidelines, psychology, and applications for ways to improve learning through personalization techniques, coherence, animations, and a new chapter on evidence-based game design.

The chapter on the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning introduces three forms of cognitive load which is revisited throughout each chapter as the psychological basis for chapter principles.

A new chapter on engagement in learning lays the groundwork for in-depth reviews of how to leverage worked examples, practice, online collaboration, and learner control to optimize learning. The updated instructor's materials include a syllabus, assignments, storyboard projects, and test items that you can adapt to your own course schedule and students.

Co-authored by the most productive instructional research scientist in the world, Dr. Richard E. Mayer, this book distills copious e-learning research into a practical manual for improving learning through optimal design and delivery.
<ul class="a-unordered-list a-vertical">
 	<li>Get up to date on the latest e-learning research</li>
 	<li>Adopt best practices for communicating information effectively</li>
 	<li>Use evidence-based techniques to engage your learners</li>
 	<li>Replace popular instructional ideas, such as learning styles with evidence-based guidelines</li>
 	<li>Apply evidence-based design techniques to optimize learning games</li>
</ul>
New findings from research laboratories can inform the design and development of e-learning. However, much of this research published in technical journals is inaccessible to those who actually design e-learning material. By collecting the latest evidence into a single volume and translating the theoretical into the practical, e-Learning and the Science of Instruction has become essential resource for consumers and designers of multimedia learning.
