I’ve worked on over 25 games from…

[object Object],[object Object],Why Leave the Games Business?

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Can I make games that teach something useful?

What is this cat doing? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],For Example…

Let’s Talk About Game Design “ One of the most difficult tasks people can perform, however much others may despise it, is the invention of good games.” - Carl Jung

Define – What is “Fun”? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Define – What is a “Game”? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],“ A series of interesting choices.” - Sid Meier

A game is not… ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What Words Go With “Learning”?

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What Words Go With “Games”?

Can We Marry “Learning” and “Games”? … or will they just get “ Knocked Up ”?

Survey Says… We Want Some Help

Survey Says… We Are Using Them More

… but there are two BIG barriers

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],… Management Distrusts “Games”

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What’s Wrong with “Serious Games”? Conclusion: “Serious Games” doesn’t explain what it is, just what it isn’t!

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What Do We Want from Games?

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Other Alternatives?

Survey Says… …” Immersive Learning” is close

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],How Do We Sell It? “ A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet, but would a game by some other name sell to the executive suite?” - Jeff Johannigman

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Why ILS?

So, how do you make a great learning game? “ Well, that’s a series of interesting choices.”
