Implementation

• New hire training• Case management discussions

– Sample discussion guide handout• Specific initiative training

Learning/Training Choices

• Backwards design – What are your learning outcomes?– How will it be used in practice?

• Time Considerations– What can you devote to the project?– How much time can those playing devote to it?

Gamification Choices

• Narrative elements– Would an overarching story help engage the learner (beneficial

if it is a longer training)• Tone of the game

– Humor can help be engaging, but can be hard to perfect• Re-playability

– Do you want the user to play it more than once?– Would it benefit from adding in a level of probability
