How to Create a Timer Bar in
PowerPoint
Karl M. Kapp
Professor of Instructional Technology

Timer: Use
“Animations”
Use “Wipe”
Timer

Create two rectangles.
One of the rectangles
you want to have “No
Fill.”

Select the other
rectangle and click
on it. Then pull
down the menu
and select “Format
Shape.”

Select “Gradient
Fill.” You can then
choose a Pre-set
color. And the
direction.

The direction that
seems to work well
is light to dark.

Then move the two
rectangles so the shaded
rectangle is within the
original “No Fill” rectangle.

Then select the “Animation”
tab. Then select “Add
Animation”
Then Select “More Entrance
Effects…”

Open the “Animation
Pane” and select “Effect”
Choose “From Left”

Next, choose “Timing” Change
the “Duration” to the number
of desired seconds. You will
type right over the existing
words.
We chose 30 seconds you
can choose the number of
seconds you’d like to
count down.

Now we want to “Trigger” the
timer by clicking on an item
labeled “Timer” to start our
countdown.

Timer
Create a shape with
the word “Timer.”

Timer
Click on the “Gradient Rectangle” you want
to animate. It needs to be highlighted with
the dots (indicating it was selected)

With the “Gradient Rectangle” still
highlighted go to the “Animation” tab.
Click on “Trigger” Choose “On Click
of.” From the pull down menu select
the name of the shape you used for
the Timer (usually it will be the last
shape you added.)

The timer should now work
when you click on the
“Timer Button” activated by
the trigger you created.

A Guide for Employee Gamified Learning

Karl Kapp

Educause research indicates over 75% of institutions are currently pursuing Digital Transformation (DX) initiatives on their campus, with this number recently skyrocketing due to the immediate shift to remote learning forced by COVID-19. While Digital Transformation may come in many forms, a core tenant of success is digital literacy and technology adoption. Institutions must prepare long-term strategies for both deploying innovative digital tools and motivating staff, faculty and students to learn, adopt and champion technology. Research-proven techniques like Gamification will be a game changer for successful DX initiatives by recognizing, engaging and challenging team members to adopt tools.

How to Use Gamification to Launch Digital Transformation in Higher Education

Play and games can be seen as merely an escape in times of uncertainty but, fortunately, games and play can do so much more. Games and play can help us and our students make sense of the world around us, can help keep us safe, help us to predict what might happen in the future and help us learn. Dive into the various ways in which games and play are rising to the forefront during this pandemic. Discover how you can use games and play can influence your outlook, keep you sharp, and, even, productive during these uncertain times.

Closing Session: The Power of Play and Games in These Uncertain Times

Karl Kapp

Engaging students is a difficult task. They are constantly confronted with distractions and demands on their time. So how can we create instruction that pulls student into the content and helps them gain the knowledge required to be successful? How do we grab and hold attention? How do we motivate students to engage with the content we are teaching? Participate in this keynote and engage in solving this mystery in this interactive presentation. This decidedly nonacademic presentation will present research findings and resources related to creating engaging instruction using the same techniques as video games. The presentation discusses using game elements appropriate for presenting learning content and how using only a small part of techniques lead to increased learning motivation. And, yes, you will play a polling game in this session. Discover firsthand how research-based practices and game-thinking are used to engage learners, increase learning, and lead to increased engagement.

Session Description: Game designers think about action, adventure, and engagement. In contrast, instructional designers tend to think about objectives, content, and quizzes. As a result, most games are fun, intriguing, and immersive, while most instruction tends to be predictable, boring, and perfunctory. Change your mindset from an instructional designer to a game designer and immediately begin creating engaging and effective instruction. Learn methods to help you think like a game designer and change stale training into an exciting and interesting experience for learners.

Session Description: In a case study format, learn how a 3-D video game was developed to provide skills training. We will discuss how a behaviorally focused rubric was mapped into a 3-D branching game to provide real-time feedback to learners on their decision-making skills with different members of the client's in-house training teams. The tools, analytical measurements, and learning decisions will be discussed and generalized for application across a wide variety of scenario-based training situations. We'll see a demonstration of the game and the dashboard that is used to evaluate how their learners are performing in the game and how the tools in the game provide a coaching platform to improve performance. Application on the Job: Apply a behaviorally based rubric to the creation of an interactive branching conversation to measure scenario-based decision-making. Leverage game elements to promote engagement, replayability, and learner interaction. Discover how player analytics in the game are used to provide real-time feedback, remedial feedback, and coaching.

A List of Some of the Tools Available to Create Digital Learning Games

How can a simple game transform your learning efforts? The CIA uses tabletop games to teach intelligence gathering, overcoming collection obstacles, and collaboration. The Harvard Business Review describes board games as a microcosm of business training that can help leaders and managers build the skills needed to operate effectively in the real world. In fact, board games have been used formally for teaching business concepts since at least the 1960s with the introduction of the MIT Beer Distribution game. Many instructional designers, course developers, and training managers struggle to create engaging learning programs that get results. At the ATD LearnNow: Game Design workshop, you’ll learn how to design a tabletop game that can help transform your live instruction into a powerful, memorable learning experience.

Games, Gamification and Game-Thinking: Making a Impact with Learners

Karl Kapp

Thinking like a game designer is a great way to craft instruction that engages learners on multiple levels. Game designers make decisions based on action, interaction, and player motivation. When properly applied, game thinking provides learning designers with insights into how to create instruction that motivates both online and face-to-face learners. In this session, you will play a game to discover how game thinking works. You will participate in both a learning experience and a debriefing process highlighting several game-thinking elements such as the freedom to fail, the value of an action-oriented approach, and the motivational aspects of both story and competition

Gamification gets a lot of ink, but do you know what the research says? Kapp walks you through the latest research into why game-based thinking and mechanics make for vigorous learning tools. He’ll dissect critical elements of games and describe how to apply them to design and development. You’ll learn to create engaging learning using game-based thinking, find out how to move beyond theoretical considerations, and be introduced to three methods for designing interactive game-based learning.

Games, Interactivity and Gamification for Learning

Karl Kapp

In games, players immediately take action, make meaningful decisions, and volunteer to spend more and more time finding treasures or defeating villains. Meanwhile, many corporate e-learning experiences are less than engaging. What instructional designers need to do is steal ideas, techniques, and methodologies from game designers and incorporate those ideas into our instructional design. This session will provide a model that can be followed by instructional designers as well as research-based recommendations for helping instructional designers think more like game designers. The result will be interactive and engaging instruction. This will be an intermediate-level session, and some knowledge of instructional design will be helpful. Also, bring your smartphone and devices, as you will be interacting with the content and voting on answer choices while this interactive adventure unfolds.
