In Gamification and other learning situations, encourage the learner to make meaningful and consequential choices within clearly defined rules and a safe environment. Content sequencing, pacing and access to learner support are forms of control that can be more or less in the hands of the learner depending on the design of the instruction.

There are two elements of learning that seem almost opposite, yet, each contribute immeasurably to the ability of a person to learn. Without these two elements, a person does not learn as deeply as they could. You can not have true learning success without both of these activities within a learning design.
