Many instructional designers are surprised when they learn the degree to which software and game developers rely on paper to sketch their designs. I’ve participated in paper prototyping sessions as our team has designed new games and user interfaces. It’s certainly much easier to draw and scribble than it is to write lines of code.

According to the Entertainment Software Association, of the 155 million gamers out there, 44% are women. Key stakeholders often get this wrong. I had a seasoned training director tell me that since his audience was mostly women, games just wouldn’t work. There are marketing games that tout a player demographic of 52% women. Make it relevant.

My players will see it as “PainAway Guru” when they log into to play as the software automatically puts the word “Guru” onto whatever title I give the game. The game’s title should be a cue to learners as to what they are going to become a Guru on – a product, a process, a concept, a company, etc.
