The 3D Imperative - How and Why of Immersive Training
How Immersive Learning Simulations help people to learn more effectively. Where they can be used and key design considerations.
Memory skills
Memory involves three stages: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory briefly stores visual and auditory information before passing it to short-term memory. Short-term memory actively stores information for 20-30 seconds before it moves to long-term memory. Long-term memory stores information unconsciously and retrieves it when needed. Organization of memory involves semantic networks that activate associated memories. Golden rules for improving memory include repeating information, organizing it, visualizing it, setting cues, grouping items together, and discussing information. Practical memory tips involve paying attention, engaging multiple senses, relating new information to prior knowledge, focusing on core ideas rather than details, rehearsing learned information, and using mn

UXAustralia 2011: Gamification sucks
Gamification is hot buzzword at the moment; pity it sucks, eh?
Game mechanics and game design techniques have been a much proliferated meme in the UX, IxD, and design worlds as of late (for varying definitions of ‘late’). Touted as a ‘solution’ to the challenge of motivating certain behaviour in users, or making experiences more engaging, sadly these elements of the game development world are often blindly applied without finesse or elegance – akin to to hitting the user over the head with a colourful hammer.
I’ve given countless talks on gamification products, adding game mechanics to services, and motivating and engaging users through glorious interrelated feedback systems. All of it, well — most of it — was wrong.
Game design techniques aren’t applicable to every interaction design situation, but when they are they can make the experience that much more compelling, sticky and entertaining. The situations where they are truly, deeply applicable are few and far between. This session will help you spot those situations.
Using examples from the last half a decade of building gamified and non-gamified services and apps for consumers, this session will show you exactly why gamification sucks, why that’s actually quite a pity, and how you can fix it.
This session is about putting the heart and soul of game design into designing experiences, and using it to focus the well-meaning intention of games in the first place: making stuff more fun! This session is for everyone.

Judy Willis MCDS Faculty Presentation
This document discusses strategies for optimizing memory acquisition based on current brain research. It explains that learning begins with attention, and input not attended to cannot become memory. The brain's reticular activating system acts as an involuntary filter that prioritizes novelty, perceived threats, and curiosity over other sensory input. Teachers can draw and sustain student attention through cues that promote curiosity and the ability to make accurate predictions. When students can correctly predict outcomes, it increases dopamine release and the pleasure response in the brain, reinforcing memory networks. The document provides strategies for reducing stress and promoting a growth mindset in students, including setting meaningful goals and providing frequent, incremental feedback. It emphasizes the importance of pattern-matching and activating prior knowledge to successfully encode
Games, Simulations and Gamification in Learning Design and Delivery
What role should games, simulations and gamification play in learning design and delivery?
Games, gamification and game-based learning have entered into the vocabulary of trainers, elearning developers and instructional designers in the past few years. While the use of games for learning seems like a good match, questions arise. How should games be integrated into the curriculum? Can attitudes and behavior change result from playing a game? What elements of games can learning designers borrow from game designers? The answer to these questions can be found in the research on game-based learning.
This interactive presentation includes many examples of using game-based learning for performance improvement and highlights how organizations have used games to achieve learning success. Discover how research-based practices fit in with today's fast-paced need for quick, effective instruction.
Level Up Your Talent Development with Gamification [eBook]
This document provides an introduction to gamifying training and development programs using the Game the System model. It discusses defining learning objectives, creating an epic storyline, designing varied learning activities, adding game mechanics like points and levels, and incorporating aesthetics to make the training fun. The model is presented as a 5 step process: 1) objectives, 2) story, 3) activity design, 4) game mechanics, and 5) aesthetics. The goal is to increase engagement and learning through concepts from game design and behavioral psychology.
Why Playing is the Future for Learning
1) Gamification uses elements of game design like points, badges, and leaderboards to motivate people to learn and complete tasks.
2) Gamification can increase learning completion rates and engagement by tapping into people's intrinsic motivations through fun and social elements.
3) For gamification of learning to be effective, it is important to focus on the user experience, allow exploration and failure, provide feedback, and encourage both social interaction and competition.
