Incorporating Games & Gaming Techniques into Your e-Learning
The gaming community can teach e-Learning professionals a lot. Games can be highly engaging, very “sticky” (the players actually want to keep playing!), and can deal with complex scenarios in a clean, logical manner. To help you develop your own Serious Games, this Online Forum will show you the best that games have to offer. The issues of budgets, tools, storytelling, and levels of engagement are just some of the topics addressed. There will be sessions on applying gaming principles to the building of simple yet highly effective games, as well as high-level 3-D games.
