You got the message about the value of games in helping people learn—and you buy in! Perhaps you’ve even built some games or selected a gamified learning platform. Having a good game or a well-designed gamified initiative is only half of the equation you need for success. The other half is a comprehensive, well-thought-out implementation strategy. Without it, your likelihood of deriving business value or learning results is low.

This session will focus on maximizing the value of your game-based or gamified learning initiatives. You’ll explore the factors to consider and the components to include when formulating a strategy. You will explore the common risks in gamification and learning game implementation, and how to minimize and mitigate them.

In this session, you will learn:

• How to identify where you are trying to fit on the gamification continuum, from execution of a single gamified initiative to a gamified learning ecosystem
• How to distinguish between a great game-based learning solution and a great strategy for implementing a game-based or gamified learning solution
• How to recognize common risks of failure in gamification or learning game implementation, and how to minimize risk
• What information you need to gather in order to formulate a strategy and use a template to guide strategy development

Audience:
Intermediate to advanced designers, developers, project managers, managers, and directors.
