Carol D. Clark - Is it a Good Idea to Add Serious Games to Corporate Training?

With Special Guest Carol D. Clark - Advisory Game Changer at Game On Learning. (www.gameonlearning.com)

In this episode of Gamification Talk Radio, we’ll be discussing Is it a Good Idea to Add Serious Games to Your Corporate Training? You may be surprised by the answer!

Serious learning games represent unchartered territory for most training departments – and there’s not much available information to go on. The market is still too young to easily find case studies or best-practice advice.  

Because game-based learning is relatively new to managers and learners, it’s imperative to have a well-thought out implementation plan. On this week’s program, Carol and I will discuss how to:

• Set expectations and benefits for the learning
• Build excitement and collaboration among participants
• Check in on experiences and progress
• Anchor learning application to job roles
• Collect data, feedback, and anecdotes that yield insight into achievement of the learning   outcomes
