In this last post about emerging L&D models we are going to look at strategic design in gamification. There are a few factors interacting in the best gamified mobile designs:
a. Semiotic relevance
b. Strategic game or learning design
c. Plasticity of the design system
d. Emergent learning
In order for all of these to be present, we need to be familiar with the various technologies we have discussed over the past two months.

Bad games can either make you throw your controller at the screen or inspire you to design better ones. If you think you can do better or are just interested in making games, a game design course like that offered by School of Game Design is one way to go to acquire the necessary skills. Game design isn’t producing a polished product, but sketching out the rules and strategies of games at the pre-production stage.
Sharon Boller has written a new white paper titled Using Game Mechanics and Game Elements in Learning Games. It explains, in clear terms, how to design games that will support your desired learning outcomes. Best of all, it uses real-life examples to show how game mechanics and game elements can be used in a practical setting.
A game’s mechanics are the rules and procedures that guide the player and the game response to the player’s moves or actions. Through the mechanics you create, you define how the game is going to work for the people who play it.
This webinar shows you the “why” of games and gamification. Games hold our interest in a way that a screen of text coupled with an image or two and a next button never will. There’s no question that games and gamification are fun and engaging. The challenge is to map the “fun” elements of games with the principles of effective learning design…. and ultimately, real business results.
