Monopoly is a game about real estate. Yet it doesn’t teach you about real estate. But how do we make a link between game narrative and real-world learning? When designing serious games, we aim to create an experience in which players spend the most time thinking about the central purpose of the session, and less time getting distracted from it. Choosing game mechanics and narrative is crucial. This session is about making the right choices.

The Value of Robotics for Surgery Training
Jeff Berkley PhD, CEO, Chairman & Founder | Mimic Technologies
The Value of Robotics for Surgery Training
Adopting new technologies can be very disruptive to operating room efficiency. This disruption is compounded when the technology is not easily accessible outside of the operating room for training. This is certainly the case for robot assisted surgery, which is gaining significant traction as an alternative to open surgery and traditional laparoscopic surgery.
Simulation training has proven to be an effective alternative to learning “real time” on patients in the operating room. Most high-risk disciplines, such as aerospace, aviation, hazmat and military, require simulation for training and high stakes testing. However, medicine has been slow to embrace simulation in a meaningful way. Most hospitals do not enforce a structured simulation training curriculum or simulation testing for privileging and credentialing. However, the C-Suites of many hospital systems are now looking to simulation as a means of increasing OR efficiency while reducing surgical risk and costs. We therefore may be less than a decade away from a time where simulation testing will be required for surgeons as it is for pilots.
Jeff Berkley, PhD, will present on efforts by Mimic Technologies to create a common simulation training platform for surgical robots. Mimic began developing simulation for Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci© robot in 2003 and has more recently adapted its simulation platform for use with many of the new robots pending FDA approval. Dr. Berkley will review current and future application of simulation to robot assisted surgery. The presentation will emphasize the utilization of data analytics for identifying and remediating high risk surgeons. Dr. Berkley will also discuss Mimic’s use of gamification for the purposes of encouraging surgeon engagement.

Finding Partners in Applied Research – A Case Study on Industry/Academic Collaboration
Sometimes financial, physical and content constraints on graduate programs force university researchers to be creative. This presentation talks about how FIEA faculty designed a class called GameLab to help expose students to Serious Games while simultaneously fostering lasting research and development partners outside traditional entertainment industry partners.
We will talk about how the development life cycle of a simple handheld game that teaches cleaning protocols for hospital janitors in the VA hospital network helped develop a template for how FIEA now finds and interacts with industry partners. It is a case study to show how a project can move from relationship to MVP to full-on build and deployment of a robust application in the context FIEA’s student centric curriculum. UCF’s Institute for Simulation and Training then finished the final product for delivery to the VA.

Designing Immersive Experiences that Create Empathy, Reveal Biases, Alter Min...
In this talk we discuss insights from designing and studying immersive experiences aimed at improving early literacy outcomes through personalized learning, spanning virtual, augmented and mixed realities as well as non-immersive applications. Our serious games provide research evidence into how these varied media can enable adults (teachers, school leaders, families, and caregivers) to implement personalized literacy learning at the organizational and individual level.
We will present lessons gained from designing experiences across immersive media such as 360 video, virtual environments with agents, mixed reality systems with human-in-the-loop characters (ex: Mursion https://mursion.com/), and augmented reality. We will also discuss approaches and takeaways for creating experiences intended to build empathy towards the unfamiliar (ex: our work on parents using VR to experience the world as young children with reading disabilities), experiences for detecting unconscious biases (ex: teachers educating a stimulated classroom of students in ways that may trigger innate biases), and experiences to contextually modify parental mindsets (ex: parents using augmented reality to alter their strategies for children’s literacy).
Overall, we will present general lessons from building simulated authentic situations in which teachers and parents learn to overcome challenges in early literacy development. We will pause our talk/lecture occasionally for questions that enable brief small group interactions.

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.

Client-Centered Serious Game Design
Jenn McNamara, Vice President | BreakAway Games
Client-Centered Serious Game Design
Serious game developers must consider client needs and constraints. To most, it is obvious that the end users’ desired training, behavior change, assessment, or experience outcomes shape the focus of the game. But the client organization’s funding, IT infrastructure, data needs, and personnel impact design as much, if not more, than end users’ needs.
This session will share experiences where these factors significantly impacted game design and make recommendations for identifying and addressing these needs early in the design process.

A Promise to Future Generations: Making Learning Fun
In this talk attendees will learn easily applicable techniques for taking their already existing curricula and making it more engaging.
Over the last 100 years, in creating films, television and games, we’ve poured billions of dollars into understanding what keeps a human being engaged. It’s time we use that for something more than killing the hours between work and sleep.
In this talk, veteran game designer and writer of the You Tube show Extra Credits, James Portnow, will talk about the lessons we can learn from games to make learning something everyone wants to do. This won’t be about how to make edutainment or how to build games for the classroom, but rather about the broader techniques, like pacing and interest curves, that entertainment industry utilizes, which can be applied to any topic and any classroom.

Christopher Crowell, Founder | Crowell Interactive Inc
Make a Game WORKSHOP
Class size Limited. Requires Sign-up at Registration
In this workshop Chris will take self-formed teams of educators through his proven process of making a game from a curriculum concept of their choice. As the teams collaboratively create a new game prototype, lively discussion during each development stage will inform decisions about resources, game design and player experience, providing an understanding of the framework. As an outcome, educators will have experiential learning about creating an experiential learning experience, it’s like some kind of “Experience-ception”! They also come away with an ‘ugly paper prototype’ that they can take back to their classrooms for further development.
Outcomes:
Ugly playable game prototype that can be taken back to classroom for further development.
Understanding of, and experience with, a proven process of developing a concept into a game.
Confidence to personally develop, or lead students in developing, educational games that are engaging and effective.
Knowledge that games are not only fun to play, they are fun to create!

DOUBLE SESSION: OODA OODA! How Rapid Iteration Can Help Level Up Your Gaming Business
We are all involved in lots of complicated and complex situations. We deal with students and learning. We write, adapt, and use games for learning. We may be running businesses.
One thing that all of these have in common is that we can’t just come up with a plan, execute and expect things to just work smoothly. Unexpected things happen, it’s often impossible to anticipate all possible situations, people react in unanticipated ways, there is often information we just don’t or can’t know in advance, the people we are working with have hidden agendas. Allies, antagonists, and resources shift and change. And so on.
So, what are we supposed to do?
We are going to explore a framework for managing solutions during periods of dynamic change. The OODA Loop Framework was developed by air force colonel John Boyd based on precepts developed by Sun Tzu, Napoleon, Heisenberg, Kyng, Einstein, Gödel, and others, and has been used by military, political, and business leaders around the world. You’ll learn to prepare for the unexpected, observe and react to actions and results, and pull together and manage a team despite adversity.

The UX of Serious Games: How to Impact a Wider Audience
What elements are you measuring when determining the value of your serious game?
There are many critical touchpoints a player (user) experiences that occur before, during, and after playing a game, from initial interest to post-game evangelism. Some serious game designs inadvertently block some users from ever playing. Some design elements can cause players to rage quit where others thrive. In this session we will explore three topics:
First, we will explore a complete user’s experience (UX) of a serious game.
Second, we will look closer at the users of serious games and break them into personas based on social, emotional, and cognitive differences in how they learn and how they play.
Third, we will explore how to merge instructional design with game design with activities that bridge the varied experiences different users can have when engaging with similar challenges. By breaking down the UX into touch points, breaking down users into personas, and mitigating gaps in the varied qualities of user experiences, you will likely improve your game analysis, game quality, and broaden your customer segments.

Alphabet Soup Cans: Avoiding Bad Tropes of Educational Games
Stuart Criley, COO and Dr. Jasminka Criley, CEO | Indelible Learning, Inc.
Alphabet Soup Cans: Avoiding Bad Tropes of Educational Games
Classroom games often struggle to make student tedium somehow less wearisome, with often comical results. Dropping math problems into the middle of a galactic space battle is just one egregious example. But the problem runs deeper than simple dissonance between game play and narrative: a bored student will tolerate even a very bad computer game, only because the alternative (listening to the teacher) is worse. Likewise, teachers may be tempted to outsource mundane instructional tasks to computers. Within this environment of perverse incentives, what is an ethical game developer to do?
Rather than merely replacing activities that are already being done in the classroom, serious games are at their best when they transmit learning experiences that would be too expensive, impractical, or even dangerous to conduct in school by other means.
One approach is to place learners in the roles of professionals and give them real-world scenarios that are easy to begin, but hard to win. In this session, learn how to partner with content experts to create compelling games that draw upon multiple disciplines, requiring critical thinking in teams to succeed. Finally, see how an Electoral College strategy game moved from prototype to successful deployment in the classroom.

Building Heroes: Using Roleplaying Game Design for Classroom Management, Reading Intervention, Interactive Fiction and Socio-emotional Growth
Attendees will go through a mini-mock adventure that goes over the basics of bringing a classroom RPG to life. Using the D&D 5e basics, attendees will create a basic character and have to work together in groups to complete the objectives laid out before them. The objectives will focus on classroom implementation strategies, monster battles, and ways to fold lesson plans into the adventures.
Once the adventure is finished, attendees have the opportunity to see examples of our work and others for classroom RPGs, and they can ask questions while beginning to formulate plans for their own adventure if wanted.
For takeaways, we’ll have company-agnostic materials that teachers can either use or adapt. Some of the materials will include general curricular approaches, example adventures, materials for communicating with administrators and other stakeholders, and non-playable characters that they can use for example. We will put together a resource guide, and teachers will be able to communicate with us down the road if they need help or want to brainstorm.

Augmented Reality: Revolutionary or Disruptor of Training and Assessment
Dennis Glenn, MFA, Adjunct Professor| DePaul University Graduate School for New Learning / President | Dennis Glenn LLC
Augmented Reality: Revolutionary or Disruptor of Training and Assessment
Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to revolutionize training and assessment. This technology innovation superimposes computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data onto a live or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment. The increasing need to scale education-based interactive learning to larger audiences thus mitigating the larger development costs, is where AR has a few potential revolutionary and disruption attributes that must be considered.
Learning Objectives:
Assessment needs to be done rigorously and methodologically, and AR technologies can provide multiple avenues to achieve this goal. Recall of knowledge is no longer a viable method to provide accurate validation of mastery. In order to assess competency, we need to understand what the learner needs to know and be able to do and then demonstrate their ability to perform these tasks. We will offer multiple solutions to this disruptor.
Privacy and security of the data con be compromised using AR technologies. A few of the risks to be discussed are identity theft, invasion of privacy, and unequal access, thus increasing the inequality divide. We will lead a discussion of the avenues to reduce these risks.
On the positive side we offer a number of effective solutions that lead to the demonstration of mastery. Using AR technology to disseminate education is a way to teach thousands of users across the globe while eliminating barriers to access, reducing costs, and ensuring consistency in quality and delivery.

Return on Investment (ROI) for Virtual Environments and Gaming
How effective are virtual and gaming environments? Do they have an impact on the user’s learning, on their job or organization and/or do they have an impact on their daily life?
The presentation will include a brief discussion of Kirkpatrick’s ROI levels 1-5 and how it is useful in the creation and evaluation of virtual gaming environments. Several virtual environments and games (Health Benefits, Pharmacy and Dentistry games for the Healthcare industry and a Tobacco prevention game for Middle school students) will be discussed and demonstrated and will describe how the evaluation results have impacted the effectiveness of the product and the user.
Participants who have conducted ROI evaluations will be asked to share their product evaluation results and how it impacted the users. Participants who are interested in conducting an ROI evaluation will be asked to provide for discussion product descriptions and what results/proof they are looking for in conducting an evaluation.

Enhancing New Employee Orientation with a Digital Scavenger Hunt
Karen Burns, Asst. Coordinator of Faculty Development | The University of Alabama
Enhancing New Employee Orientation with a Digital Scavenger Hunt
Pervasive games are a burgeoning genre in which the affordances of mobile devices are used to extend the boundaries of digital games into the real world. This game genre leverages the GPS, photo, video, and texting capabilities of smart phone devices in order to create games that require location-dependent and context-sensitive interactions between the physical and virtual environments. One particular form of pervasive games is a digital scavenger hunt.
This presentation will focus on the findings of a study in which a digital scavenger hunt was integrated into new employee orientation. The goal of the study is to determine if a digital scavenger hunt can be an effective means of enhancing the typical employee orientation by reinforcing information provided during the face-to-face sessions, introducing new information, reducing the stress new employees typically feel, and fostering employee competence. While this study is ongoing, data collection and analysis will be completed by May 2019.
This session will report on the findings of this study and include a discussion of the successes and challenges of the study. Additionally, discussion will center on potential applications of a digital scavenger hunt being used as a means of learning through discovery.

EXCALIBUR: Creating a Story and Gaming Academy for Middle Schoolers – Hits and Misses
Wrapping up year two of the 8th grade elective, Excalibur, I will reflect on what went right, what went wrong, and what I plan to do next year.
Excalibur is an elective that aims to accomplish multiple educational and social goals — the primary being to provide students with a real-world experience and skillset that can transfer to any modern profession. Using the concept of forming a game-design company, and making all of the decisions necessary to have that company produce a successful game, students are able to identify and master a diverse selection of technical skills as well as public speaking, narrative creation, branding and marketing, sound effects and voice-overs, art from conception through animation, researching to insure authenticity, management, leadership and teamwork.

Simulating Patients for Healthcare Training: Appearance, Shape, Influence, and Awareness
This panel will provide an introduction and discussion about the medical needs and alternate approaches for simulating patients when engaging in the training of healthcare practitioners, e.g., nurses and physicians. Examples approaches will include using real humans (standardized patients), physical “mannequins” with varying degrees of robotic actuation and sensing, computer graphics-based virtual humans, and a novel approach to what we call physical-virtual humans. Among other things we will discuss the appearance, physical shape, environmental influence, and apparent awareness of each, along with the implications on healthcare training.

Games, Social Impact, and Student Outcomes
Randall Deich, STEM Coordinator | Lauderhill 6-12 School Board of Broward County
Games, Social Impact, and Student Outcomes
Developing games and web applications for social impact moves students from drills and assignments to authentic experiences that has led to community partnerships, internships, and employment opportunities.
Lauderhill 6-12, a Title 1 combo school in Broward County is where students develop online tools and games that address relevant needs of neighborhood families and the local community. Student motivation, excitement, and engagement have improved knowing that their original ideas can help others and with investor support original ideas can come to fruition. Student work has been recognized by Entertainment Software Association (ESA), Oracle Technologies, and the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance.
Participants will hear and take away strategies on how to reduce obstacles, pilot programs, and build relationships in order to create a culture of creating through computer science. Participants will hear and take away strategies on how to take advantage of community resources, national events, non-profits and pipe them through a sieve of student interest and game development that results in a culture of games, apps, fun, and learning.
Notes:
Teaching in a Title 1 school has plenty of challenges for students and educators. The lives of our students address a glut of issues a lot more pressing than homework assignments; they have a lot more on their mind than common core standards. Having worked in Title 1 schools during my 26 years as an educator I believe in the power of creating and critical thinking through games, mobile apps, and web applications. By enabling and empowering students, I have been able to see the increase of motivation, engagement, and attendance. While this experience does not remove the weight of home issues, it does provide a source of ownership, accomplishment, and community.

Augmenting Behavioral Health Provider Training in Second Life
Kevin Holloway, Director, Training and Education |Center for Deployment Psychology (CDP) / Uniformed Services University for the Health Sciences (USUHS)
Augmenting Behavioral Health Provider Training in Second Life
Distributed learning refers to learning not limited by time or geographic location. In regard to training in Evidence Based Psychotherapies (EBPs), this allows behavioral health providers flexibility to build their knowledge and skills when their schedule permits and without travel. Further, structured reinforcement of learned material subsequent to an EBP workshop has been demonstrated to improve both self-reported learning and implementation of skills (Bennett-Levy & Padesky, 2014).
We will review the use of an asynchronous distributed learning model, specifically immersive virtual world experiences as an extension of multiday workshop training in Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. CDP developed two interactive environments for providers to explore at their own pace: CDP’s PTSD Learning Center and the Snoozeum. Both interactive learning environments are available in Second Life.
After integrating a tour of the virtual world experiences into workshops, civilian providers working with military-connected patients across diverse U.S. locations shared qualitative feedback that these learning environments are highly engaging and useful for reinforcing skills learned in training workshops. We will conduct a live demonstration of these virtual environments to provide firsthand experience to attendees, then discuss benefits, challenges and feasibility of this asynchronous, innovative method of enhanced training.

The Little Program that Could: Healthcare Simulation Program Development
This session will discuss one college’s simulation program development with limited resources. It will identify lessons learned while overcoming challenges to grow their healthcare simulation program. It started with what to do after people began using simulation for pre-licensure nursing students and has expanded to cover four healthcare programs at more than 6 geographical locations across a rural state. This small program has grown to deliver in-situ simulation services for healthcare organizations, participated in simulation research, and provides evidence-based simulations to enhance patient safety through healthcare education.

Client-Centered Serious Game Design
Jenn McNamara, Vice President | BreakAway Games
Client-Centered Serious Game Design
Serious game developers must consider client needs and constraints. To most, it is obvious that the end users’ desired training, behavior change, assessment, or experience outcomes shape the focus of the game. But the client organization’s funding, IT infrastructure, data needs, and personnel impact design as much, if not more, than end users’ needs.
This session will share experiences where these factors significantly impacted game design and make recommendations for identifying and addressing these needs early in the design process.

A Promise to Future Generations: Making Learning Fun
In this talk attendees will learn easily applicable techniques for taking their already existing curricula and making it more engaging.
Over the last 100 years, in creating films, television and games, we’ve poured billions of dollars into understanding what keeps a human being engaged. It’s time we use that for something more than killing the hours between work and sleep.
In this talk, veteran game designer and writer of the You Tube show Extra Credits, James Portnow, will talk about the lessons we can learn from games to make learning something everyone wants to do. This won’t be about how to make edutainment or how to build games for the classroom, but rather about the broader techniques, like pacing and interest curves, that entertainment industry utilizes, which can be applied to any topic and any classroom.

Make a Game WORKSHOP
Class size Limited. Requires Sign-up at Registration
In this workshop Chris will take self-formed teams of educators through his proven process of making a game from a curriculum concept of their choice. As the teams collaboratively create a new game prototype, lively discussion during each development stage will inform decisions about resources, game design and player experience, providing an understanding of the framework. As an outcome, educators will have experiential learning about creating an experiential learning experience, it’s like some kind of “Experience-ception”! They also come away with an ‘ugly paper prototype’ that they can take back to their classrooms for further development.
Outcomes:
Ugly playable game prototype that can be taken back to classroom for further development.
Understanding of, and experience with, a proven process of developing a concept into a game.
Confidence to personally develop, or lead students in developing, educational games that are engaging and effective.
Knowledge that games are not only fun to play, they are fun to create!

DOUBLE SESSION: OODA OODA! How Rapid Iteration Can Help Level Up Your Gaming Business
We are all involved in lots of complicated and complex situations. We deal with students and learning. We write, adapt, and use games for learning. We may be running businesses.
One thing that all of these have in common is that we can’t just come up with a plan, execute and expect things to just work smoothly. Unexpected things happen, it’s often impossible to anticipate all possible situations, people react in unanticipated ways, there is often information we just don’t or can’t know in advance, the people we are working with have hidden agendas. Allies, antagonists, and resources shift and change. And so on.
So, what are we supposed to do?
We are going to explore a framework for managing solutions during periods of dynamic change. The OODA Loop Framework was developed by air force colonel John Boyd based on precepts developed by Sun Tzu, Napoleon, Heisenberg, Kyng, Einstein, Gödel, and others, and has been used by military, political, and business leaders around the world. You’ll learn to prepare for the unexpected, observe and react to actions and results, and pull together and manage a team despite adversity.

The ux of serious games how to impact a wider audience
Birdie Champ, BS, M.Ed., Ed.S, Owner, Chief Product Officer | UXDiversity and Thorne Palmer, BA, M.Ed
The UX of Serious Games: How to Impact a Wider Audience
What elements are you measuring when determining the value of your serious game?
There are many critical touchpoints a player (user) experiences that occur before, during, and after playing a game, from initial interest to post-game evangelism. Some serious game designs inadvertently block some users from ever playing. Some design elements can cause players to rage quit where others thrive. In this session we will explore three topics:
First, we will explore a complete user’s experience (UX) of a serious game.
Second, we will look closer at the users of serious games and break them into personas based on social, emotional, and cognitive differences in how they learn and how they play.
Third, we will explore how to merge instructional design with game design with activities that bridge the varied experiences different users can have when engaging with similar challenges. By breaking down the UX into touch points, breaking down users into personas, and mitigating gaps in the varied qualities of user experiences, you will likely improve your game analysis, game quality, and broaden your customer segments.

Alphabet Soup Cans: Avoiding Bad Tropes of Educational Games
Stuart Criley, COO and Dr. Jasminka Criley, CEO | Indelible Learning, Inc.
Alphabet Soup Cans: Avoiding Bad Tropes of Educational Games
Classroom games often struggle to make student tedium somehow less wearisome, with often comical results. Dropping math problems into the middle of a galactic space battle is just one egregious example. But the problem runs deeper than simple dissonance between game play and narrative: a bored student will tolerate even a very bad computer game, only because the alternative (listening to the teacher) is worse. Likewise, teachers may be tempted to outsource mundane instructional tasks to computers. Within this environment of perverse incentives, what is an ethical game developer to do?
Rather than merely replacing activities that are already being done in the classroom, serious games are at their best when they transmit learning experiences that would be too expensive, impractical, or even dangerous to conduct in school by other means.
One approach is to place learners in the roles of professionals and give them real-world scenarios that are easy to begin, but hard to win. In this session, learn how to partner with content experts to create compelling games that draw upon multiple disciplines, requiring critical thinking in teams to succeed. Finally, see how an Electoral College strategy game moved from prototype to successful deployment in the classroom.

Building Heroes: Using Roleplaying Game Design for Classroom Management, Reading Intervention, Interactive Fiction and Socio-emotional Growth
Attendees will go through a mini-mock adventure that goes over the basics of bringing a classroom RPG to life. Using the D&D 5e basics, attendees will create a basic character and have to work together in groups to complete the objectives laid out before them. The objectives will focus on classroom implementation strategies, monster battles, and ways to fold lesson plans into the adventures.
Once the adventure is finished, attendees have the opportunity to see examples of our work and others for classroom RPGs, and they can ask questions while beginning to formulate plans for their own adventure if wanted.
For takeaways, we’ll have company-agnostic materials that teachers can either use or adapt. Some of the materials will include general curricular approaches, example adventures, materials for communicating with administrators and other stakeholders, and non-playable characters that they can use for example. We will put together a resource guide, and teachers will be able to communicate with us down the road if they need help or want to brainstorm.

Augmented Reality: Revolutionary or Disruptor of Training and Assessment
Dennis Glenn, MFA, Adjunct Professor| DePaul University Graduate School for New Learning / President | Dennis Glenn LLC
Augmented Reality: Revolutionary or Disruptor of Training and Assessment
Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to revolutionize training and assessment. This technology innovation superimposes computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data onto a live or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment. The increasing need to scale education-based interactive learning to larger audiences thus mitigating the larger development costs, is where AR has a few potential revolutionary and disruption attributes that must be considered.
Learning Objectives:
Assessment needs to be done rigorously and methodologically, and AR technologies can provide multiple avenues to achieve this goal. Recall of knowledge is no longer a viable method to provide accurate validation of mastery. In order to assess competency, we need to understand what the learner needs to know and be able to do and then demonstrate their ability to perform these tasks. We will offer multiple solutions to this disruptor.
Privacy and security of the data con be compromised using AR technologies. A few of the risks to be discussed are identity theft, invasion of privacy, and unequal access, thus increasing the inequality divide. We will lead a discussion of the avenues to reduce these risks.
On the positive side we offer a number of effective solutions that lead to the demonstration of mastery. Using AR technology to disseminate education is a way to teach thousands of users across the globe while eliminating barriers to access, reducing costs, and ensuring consistency in quality and delivery.

Enhancing New Employee Orientation with a Digital Scavenger Hunt
Karen Burns, Asst. Coordinator of Faculty Development | The University of Alabama
Enhancing New Employee Orientation with a Digital Scavenger Hunt
Pervasive games are a burgeoning genre in which the affordances of mobile devices are used to extend the boundaries of digital games into the real world. This game genre leverages the GPS, photo, video, and texting capabilities of smart phone devices in order to create games that require location-dependent and context-sensitive interactions between the physical and virtual environments. One particular form of pervasive games is a digital scavenger hunt.
This presentation will focus on the findings of a study in which a digital scavenger hunt was integrated into new employee orientation. The goal of the study is to determine if a digital scavenger hunt can be an effective means of enhancing the typical employee orientation by reinforcing information provided during the face-to-face sessions, introducing new information, reducing the stress new employees typically feel, and fostering employee competence. While this study is ongoing, data collection and analysis will be completed by May 2019.
This session will report on the findings of this study and include a discussion of the successes and challenges of the study. Additionally, discussion will center on potential applications of a digital scavenger hunt being used as a means of learning through discovery.

The Little Program that Could: Healthcare Simulation Program Development
This session will discuss one college’s simulation program development with limited resources. It will identify lessons learned while overcoming challenges to grow their healthcare simulation program. It started with what to do after people began using simulation for pre-licensure nursing students and has expanded to cover four healthcare programs at more than 6 geographical locations across a rural state. This small program has grown to deliver in-situ simulation services for healthcare organizations, participated in simulation research, and provides evidence-based simulations to enhance patient safety through healthcare education.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
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.
