Design e-Learning Like a Game Developer: Provide Incentives for Good Work

Kapp Notes

You do something great in a game, you get rewarded. In fact, you even get rewarded if you do something simple like bump into a gold coin. If you bump into it, you collect the coin and eventually you’ve bumped into or walked through enough gold coins to purchase something. Games provide incentives for doing what they want you to do. The search for gold coins, for example, encourages the player to explore the environment and learn more about the game-space in which they are playing.

Please Don’t Call Your LMS an LMS

Mindflash

For Pete’s sake, do not call your learning management system, the “learning management system.” That is like telling your friend to call you on your “hand-held, long-range, mobile, radio-telephone device.” Too many times in organizations, I have seen that link on the intranet. It is ironic that no one calls their intranet, the “intranet.” The organization comes up with a branded name for the intranet.
