'You know the old saying, “No risk, no reward.” Lots of training has no risk and, for most learners, it has no reward. Nothing gets the heart pounding or the sweat beading on your brow like the prospect of messing up a major project at work or shutting down a production line because of a dumb mistake that you’ve made. Unfortunately, in most learning environments, the thought of increasing a learner’s pulse or causing him or her to sweat rarely occurs to the instructional

'Mobile devices today are introducing exciting new possibilities when it comes to digital learning. For-profit Corporations are jumping on board, but the educational industry is largely leading the way for innovation in this space.

'A sense of suspense, mystery and intrigue draws people into games, movies and novels…but rarely learning events. When playing a game, inevitably, players become curious—what happens if I go over to this place or explore this room. What if I run into the open? What if I open this door or go out through a window? Game players explore gamespaces to see what happens.

So, I grew a beard that was largely red, and in terms of being well behaved, well, it made Gabby Hayes look well-groomed. So I’ve been clean shaven since (see to the right). Well, that’s changed. To make a long story short, I had an extended period of time away from family and razor, and grew it out.
