Brief history of…
The World
We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone. PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in. --Palm CEO Ed Colligan, 16 Nov 2006
This is our best iPhone launch yet — more than 9 million new iPhones sold — a new record for first weekend sales—Tim Cook, 2013.
Palm sold to HP in 2010, by 2011 Palm was done.

Digital divisions. Report by the Pew /Internet: Pew Internet & American Life. US Department of Commerce
87% of 8- to 17-
year olds play video games
at home.
Females play 5 hours a week of console games. They make up the majority of PC gamers at 63%.
Almost 43% of the gamers are female and 26% of those females
are over 18.
What variables do I balance to keep my
person happy? How should I
manage my time?
What leadership strategy should I
use?

New Approaches are Needed
Let’s Play Fact or Fishy…
“Study of 2,300 people found only 6% of organizations are successful in
influencing behavior change among employees.” --Al Switzler
The average person checks their phone 150 times a day that’s about 9 times an
hour.
People send or receive an average of 41 text messages
per day.,
Smartphones users spend over 2.5 hours a day on their
phones, with 32% of that time playing games.
We are five years away from truly adaptive learning?
Is that Fact or Fishy?

Delivery
Give learner choices into the content.
What can you do?
Create choices for the learner when starting a learning module.
Adding points, badges and leaderboard to any training makes it awesome!
Is that Fact or Fishy?
Use game-based mechanics, aesthetics and game thinking to engage people, motivate action,
promote learning, and solve problems.
Gamification
… if it was that easy…this would be the most engaging game in the world.
Agenda
• Five Bottom Line Case Studies – Retail – Marketing Product – On Boarding
• Quick Engagement Case Studies • Lessons Learned
Pep Boys has over 700 stores in 35 states and Puerto Rico; those stores have more than 7,000
service bays. Does over $2 billion dollars of business a year by focusing on meeting the needs of the do-it-yourself crowd as well as people who come in for routine and emergency services and
sales to professional garages.
Associates received daily reinforcement of the monthly safety and loss prevention
training.
In a quiz-type game, associates answer quick, targeted questions related to risk, loss
prevention, safety, and operational policies and procedures—standard questions in these
areas.
If they answered correctly, they played a slot-machine game titled “Quiz to Win” for a chance to
win cash prizes
If answered incorrectly, the system immediately presented a short training piece designed to
specifically address the topic covered in the initial question. Questions repeated at various intervals until the associate demonstrated mastery of the
topic.
Business Results
• Voluntary participation rate of over 95 %. • Safety incidents and claim counts reduced by more than 45%
with an increase in the number of stores and employees. • Reduction in shrinkage has been at a level of 55 %. • In the case of internal loss, each time a burst of content related
to employee theft is pushed out, they see at least a 60% increase in their “Integrity Pays” hotline calls, resulting in a direct reduction in inventory loss.

What can you do?
Intelligently add game elements to instruction, create a “drip” approach to instruction.
In a Meta-Analysis… Games are more effective for learning than lectures.
Is that Fact or Fishy?
Lectures are NOT effective for fostering higher level thinking?
Gibbs, G., (1981). Twenty Terrible Reasons for Lecturing, SCED Occasional Paper No. 8, Birmingham. http://www.brookes.ac.uk/services/ocsld/resources/20reasons.html and Bligh, D., (1972). What’s the Use of Lectures? Penguin.
Bloom, B. S., (1953). “Thought Processes in Lectures and Discussions.” Journal of General Education Vol. 7. Isaacs, G., (1994). “Lecturing Practices and Note-taking Purposes.” Studies in Higher Education, 19:2.
During lectures students'
thoughts involved attempting to solve
problems, or synthesize information 1% of the
time.
78% of the lecture is spent in ‘passive thoughts about the subject’ and ‘irrelevant thoughts’.
21 studies found lecturing to be less
effective than: discussion, reading
and individual work in class.

It wasn’t the game, it was level of activity in the game.
In other words, the engagement of the learner in the game leads to learning.
What can you do?
Focus on interactivity within the learning, force the learner interact with the content.
MOOCs (Massively Open Online Courses) have attrition rates as high as 90%.
Is that Fact or Fishy?
The absence of instructional design is often cited as a reason for the huge attrition rate that has been observed. The problem-- Faculty are presented much as they appear in a classroom, with no interactivity or visuals.
What can you do?
Apply instructional design strategies to courses…interactivity, mystery, cliff hangers…Avoid Death by Lecture.
Simulation/games build more confidence for on the job application of learned knowledge than classroom instruction.
Is that Fact or Fishy?

20% higher confidence
levels.
What can you do?
Simulate what the learner actually has to do on the job.
An on-screen character is distracting to the learner.
Is that Fact or Fishy?
On transfer tests involving different word problems, the group who had a character generated 30% more correct answers than the group with on-screen text.
Animated pedagogical agents (characters) can be aids to learning. A “realistic” character did not facilitate learning any better than a “cartoon-like” character.

Who is more likely to run 24 hours later? A. Person who watched an avatar that did
not look like them running B. Person who watched an avatar that
looked like them running C. Person watching an avatar that looked
like them loitering /hanging out
Within 24 hours of watching an avatar like themselves run, learners were more likely
to run than watching an avatar not like them or watching an avatar like them
loitering .

If learners watch an avatar that looks like them exercising & losing
weight, they will subsequently exercise more in the real world as
compared to a control group.

Avatar as Teacher
Research indicates that learners perceive, interact socially with and are influenced by
anthropomorphic agents (avatars) even when their functionality and adaptability are limited.

What can you do?
Use characters in your learning design.
Learners remember facts better… When presented as bulleted list rather than presented as a story.
Is that Fact or Fishy?
Researchers have found that the human brain has a natural affinity
for narrative construction.
Yep, People tend to remember facts more accurately if they encounter them in a story rather than in a list.
And they rate legal arguments as more convincing when built into
narrative tales rather than on legal precedent.

2. Plot (something has to happen).
3. Tension
4. Resolution
NikePlus Stats for Karl
Think Radio talk-show, not lecture
Create a learning “reality” show.
What can you do?
Use stories. Provide the context for the learning.
Think NPR instead of “lecture.”
Graphic Novels and eBooks should not be used for “Serious Training.”
Is that Fact or Fishy?

What can you do?
Create a graphic novel for learning. Introduce a subject, reinforce learning.
Games can influence people to behave in a positive manner.

What can you do?
Create a game to influence learners to interact favorably with your content.
Covert Takeaways
• Learning should be engaging. • Stories provide a context for learning. • It is ok for a learner to struggle. • Bulleted lists should be avoided. • Add multiple levels to your online instruction. • Simply adding points, badges and leaderboards does
not make learning effective.
