To have break through innovation in the field of learning and development, we must first think about how innovation is stifled in the field. We all have been through a traditional learning model at early, impressionable age. Little room for nuances in understanding or learning. Scorn for Learning by Doing. I am human.

Gamification is an emergent approach to instruction which facilitates learning and encourages motivation through the use of game elements, mechanics and game-based thinking. While not reliant on technology, the advent of technological devices has made the development and deployment of gamification more ubiquitous. References.

When thinking about creating a gamification experience (or any learning experience), allow and encourage the learner to make meaningful and consequential choices.

Note: Some of these thoughts are based on a paper by John Rice, a school technology director in Texas. From a social learning context allowing the learner to mimic or role-play desired behavior influences future behaviors of the learner. Assume a Role. A role-play that involves speaking to a nurse. The classroom context is artificial.
