No Time to Waste: Implementing a Crisis Communication Social Media Plan – Kat...Social Media Day Lafayette
In today's fast-paced society, we are constantly bombarded with duties that must be fulfilled in our professional and professional lives before it is too late. Unfortunately, while operating at warp speed, a simple misunderstanding, delayed delivery, unassuming encounter, misstep or catastrophic event can wreak havoc for you, your organization, your business or your product(s) – especially on social media. Since social media reaches the masses, instantaneous, how do you handle a crisis when public opinion spreads like wildfire, often, void of facts? In a New-York minute, you find yourself or your organization in a crisis; you are under attack! There is no time to waste in order to recover.
On January 16th, 2014, the Design For America Stanford Studio gathered to share their progress on topics including patients and pills, distracted driving, support for parents of children with autism, and others. This session was designed to design fast experiments to advance understanding of the problem space by testing assumptions and possible solutions.

Learning Through Play: STEM Games in the Classroom
Attendees will understand how STEM games can be used in K-12 classroom settings. They will learn about an overview of games on the market, from elementary school through high school. They will then learn how to design simple games that can be used to convey a key STEM concept within one class period. By the end of the workshop attendees will have collaborated to produce paper prototypes of such games.
We hope to host these files as free online print-and-play games for teachers, as a service to the community.
I will lead attendees in a game design workshop for STEM games in K-12 education. After providing an overview of such games, we will play a sample of existing games on the market from a variety of companies. Then each table will brainstorm ideas based on age, subject matter, and game mechanics. They will produce paper prototypes by the end of the workshop, which they will present to the other members. Hopefully, if it’s possible, we/SPC could host these files as free online print-and-play games for teachers as a service to the community.

Presentation at Agile Australia June 2017, Melbourne by Andrea Blundell and Pru Gell.
In 2015 Google published a list of the traits that its most effective teams share, with the key one being “psychological safety.” Many organisations are looking to create and maintain an environment where self-organising teams collaborate well.
If psychological safety is one of the key ingredients to this, what does safety look and feel like? How do we know what level of safety we have in a team? And how can we increase levels of safety?
The Lewis Method of Deep Democracy offers a roadmap for teams to achieve safety so that they can be truly collaborative. Through applying the method people feel safe to engage and share their views; levels of resistance to decisions are reduced; you gain buy-in to decisions and innovations; and new insights can be uncovered. This talk shares practical tools to get your organisation on this road.

Manual Testing is Dead. Long Live Manual TestingQASymphony
‘Manual testing’ as a term used to describe testing is extremely confusing. What exactly are they attempting to describe? What do people believe is happening? I believe ‘Manual testing’ displays a lack of consideration of the work, thinking, and effort that goes into testing. However, this depends on who is using the term and why. If testing consists of point and click, then ‘Manual testing’ may be apt. If testing consists of test ideas, prep and experimentation, I don’t believe the term ‘Manual testing’ suits. We need to address this and clarify there is no automation testing or manual testing. There is testing. This talk will be about testing and the need to be able to discuss it more clearly.

How to Use Gamification to Launch Digital Transformation in Higher Education 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.

Distance Learning Conference 2020 The Quest for Engagement: Let the Games Beg...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.

W308 - Start Thinking Like a Game Designer and Create Engaging, Immersive Ins...Karl Kapp
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.
W207 - Creating a 3-D Behavioral Assessment Based Simulation or Game Karl Kapp
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.
Create Tabletop Games to Foster Organizational LearningKarl Kapp
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.

Beyond Gamification: Thinking Like a Game DesignerKarl 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
Games, Interactivity and Gamification for Learning Karl Kapp
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.
TH301 - Start Thinking Like a Game Designer: An Interactive Learning ExperienceKarl 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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
