For the most part, game playing aims at developing recall. So using any metrics, I challenge Gamification builders to reveal learning performance improvement by users in their real work achieved by Gamification techniques alone. Look back: Review for changes in performance shortly after the learning and at intervals as necessary.

From that point discover, categorize and develop with some confidence the types of learning each would be most comfortable with then craft an overall rubric to be used when designing courseware for multi-age audiences. Looking around I did find an article where this conundrum was voiced. Organizational Intolerance. Stay tuned for Part II.

If you regard making learning ‘products’ that deliver knowledge, skills or behaviors that infuse performance change in others you had better question every decision. And the critic sets standards. Building Learning is a Creative Act. In fact making learning is very far from simple.

One, company claims and values as they appear in advertising and public relations and the other being the product that should express claims the company makes as the physical manifestation or promise of performance of its values. Most companies spend big telling you who they are and what they believe. Moreover, there is a conundrum.

It’s imperative to establish very specific outcomes and their key performance indicators (KPIs) in the design brief. That leads to performance improvement…and that is the ultimate goal of any learning system. Let’s begin where we always should and that’s with the outcomes we are seeking; not just for the course, but for each scenario.

That’s not an accusation that teachers as a group do not try to develop quality lessons nor are they deficient in humanity. We can declare non too subtlety that, with some inspiration, even if in the form of—gasp—money, teachers can be moved to higher levels of overall performance.

Traditional learning and development is about pushing out information. Companies measure each touchpoint in each channel against criteria in order to examine their process, develop standards and measures to improve customer service and contain their costs. Most importantly both Cx and 70:20:10 are performance and productivity focused.

If your goal is to present information that yields a higher degree of knowledge transfer, what roads are open that will improve learning uptake and therefore performance while enticing engineers to see the learning design as interesting but compelling. That said; as the learning master how can you reconcile these differences.

Incentivizing workers of any level with rewards, extrinsic or intrinsic seems to work only when there are simple goals to achieve and solid rules to guide performance. However, as Daniel Pink has noted, as soon as performance requires any additional cognitive skill (e.g. reasoning) even a larger reward leads to decreased performance.

Malcolm Gladwell was discussing, as a point of departure about unintended consequences, the development of the Norden Bombsight, considered by its inventor that, by its precision, would limit unnecessary deaths of innocents in Allied wartime bombardments. So a double yecch, right? Clearly an unintended consequence of obsessive madness.

Then too, the soundtrack with familiar tunes in some cases—and quite arguably—performed as in the case of Cole Porter just as he might at an evening soiree, that made the movie even more potent. Once we formalize the process of learning and form expectations, objectives, outcomes, KPIs, and other performance measures two things happen.

Beginning with objectives for what learners should take away and then demonstrates in their performance, to the design process and finally the software used to build courseware always determine the instructional yield at the end. I harbor a patent dislike for packaged authoring tools like Articulate. Plus it migrates to either Flash or HTML5.
