Beyond Points & Badges: Gamification for Proficiency & Skill Transfer
Gamification is often reduced to points and badges layered onto passive learning experiences. While these approaches can increase short-term engagement, they don’t always support long-term retention or real-world application. In this session, you’ll explore how to design gamified experiences that focus on skill development and application. By combining structured questions with AI-evaluated freeform responses, this […]

Secrets of Gamification Revealed
Join us as we retell the misadventures of building “Ethical Pursuit,” an ethics compliance course inspired by Trivial Pursuit. This session shares the decision-making process behind choosing gamification, along with the challenges we faced while designing and building the experience. We’ll start with the big picture of what makes gamification effective before peeling back the […]

Winning Strategies for Gamification in Blended Learning
Just like a championship team needs a strong game plan, a successful gamification strategy requires the right tools, players, and execution. In blended learning environments, gamification can easily become fragmented if tools, modalities, and learner experiences aren’t carefully aligned. In this session, we’ll break down the Xs and Os of gamification in blended learning. You’ll […]

How Immersion Transforms Learning From Knowing to Doing
In many learning experiences, learners acquire knowledge but rarely get the chance to use it in ways that feel real. The session explores immersion as the missing link between knowing and doing and shows how ethnographic research can help instructional designers close that gap. By grounding learning in the lived experiences, decisions, and challenges of […]

Fortifying the Foundation: A Guide to Secure Open Source Hosting
Modern applications are 90% open source and 10% proprietary code—yet we spend 90% of our budget securing the 10%. It’s time to flip the script. This session provides a practical roadmap for hosting and managing open-source dependencies securely. We cover the “Three Pillars of OSS Security”: Supply Chain Transparency (SBOMs), Isolated Infrastructure (Containers), and Proactive […]

What Your Training Misses: The Signals That Actually Drive Performance
Join us as we will discuss how and why traditional training misses the signals that impact real-world performance, and where gaps show up in conversations. We will identify the nonverbal and behavioral signals (tone, timing, facial expression, response patterns) that separate knowledge from readiness. Explore how practice-based learning makes these signals visible and measurable. In […]

Operational AI for L&D
Join us to see how a training management system uses operational A.I. to solve scheduling, reporting, and process automation for complex L&D tasks. Operational A.I. is artificial intelligence that uses a set, deterministic input to give you the same outputs with the same inputs – every time. No hallucinations or confidently wrong answers. This is […]
