From that limited perspective, it seems to me that in popular culture, "gamer" doesnt mean "solitaire player" but means instead "someone who plays immersive games that involve alternate worlds, strategy, exploration, blah blah blah." I play geography games, but Im not a gamer.

As a practical alternative, I think the Audio Off button is a great idea -- which of course means that the audio cant ever carry the main message. On the other hand, if youve been subjected to enough typical corporate training, you expect to be lectured, and you can feel somehow cheated when that doesnt happen. 7:31 AM Ray Sims said.

Im enjoying all of the alternative titles people are coming up with. If those kinds of decisions are being made in educational institutions that DO have instructional designers/technologists, should we really expect there to be a good understanding of the discipline by those not associated with it in any way?

These are actual objections Ive heard from clients when Ive tried to discuss some alternatives. Selling a different approach is hard. "We We dont have the budget for that." Thats not in our plan."

Or, better yet, what's the alternative to seat time as the basis for a pricing model? There's some metrics floating around: such as 4 hours of classroom time = 1 hour of eLearning time. But that varies wildly if you're talking software training vs. something more complex and soft. How do you estimate seat time?
