Game design is primarily focused on creating entertaining and engaging experiences, while instructional design is focused on creating effective learning experiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/1683935604387-G861MP0G45O61QA6WDFM/unsplash-image-eCktzGjC-iU.jpg Blog - How is Game Design different from Instructional Design - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/1683935668203-32U7H7GMS6SNWD915XX8/unsplash-image-tQPgM1k6EbQ.jpg Blog - How is Game Design different from Instructional Design - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/1683935647371-YG8L0WN6HURDCIP8QBY0/unsplash-image-qWwpHwip31M.jpg Blog - How is Game Design different from Instructional Design - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.learningmaker.space/blog/how-are-game-design-and-instructional-design-similar monthly 0.5 2023-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/b81e554d-fc5a-4bc0-ac8e-814c0ce317f3/unsplash-image-7e5J2V80CDo.jpg Blog - How are “Game Design” and “Instructional Design” similar? - #1 User-Centered Approach Both game design and instructional design begin with a focus on the end user. Game designers and instructional designers alike consider the needs, interests, and preferences of their audience to create an experience that is engaging, effective, and meaningful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/1683065009402-HSZCSXBMXU907V379HBC/unsplash-image-RLw-UC03Gwc.jpg Blog - How are “Game Design” and “Instructional Design” similar? - #2 Goals and Objectives Both game design and instructional design involve setting clear goals and objectives. In game design, these goals may relate to progressing through levels, earning points, or achieving specific outcomes. In instructional design, goals may be related to learning objectives and competencies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/38b5ffdb-a289-478a-8313-be27a84bd925/unsplash-image-MGralQGARyI.jpg Blog - How are “Game Design” and “Instructional Design” similar? - #3 Feedback and Assessment Both game design and instructional design rely on feedback and assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of the experience. In games, feedback may come in the form of points, rankings, or achievements. In instructional design, feedback is often provided through assessments, quizzes, or other evaluation tools. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/1683065410113-GPMN72UZYEVA761AW10C/unsplash-image-UIBKumOkq7w.jpg Blog - How are “Game Design” and “Instructional Design” similar? - #4 Engagement and Motivation Both game design and instructional design strive to create engaging experiences that motivate their users to continue participating. Game designers use various tactics such as rewards, challenges, and competition to keep players engaged. Instructional designers use similar strategies, such as interactive activities, simulations, and storytelling, to keep learners engaged and motivated. https://www.learningmaker.space/blog/hrbsg0fv1786ajz8j1ikmeotb9rve7 monthly 0.5 2023-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/92c84d47-5884-4bbe-9692-a744236fb632/E67ABE9D-F3D2-4175-A032-A056269C1F2E.jpeg Blog -

Examples of Learner Personas and Empathy Maps - Make it stand out How to address this persona’s prior learning experiences, attitudes towards learning, social/emotional needs, and barriers to learning? This persona's prior learning experiences are from in-person trainings (with interactions) prior to the switch to remote work. I would address this by ensuring that the ability to collaborate/discuss with others is possible for the learning experience to stick. Possibly by having a discussion board or by having small group discussions topics lead by their management team after all have taken the e-learning course. I would ensure this group has the ability to socially learn, especially with others in their group to enhance their engagement and overall ability to remember the important information. I would also make sure that there is a solid feedback method that these learners could use with their leaders to know how they are doing. The challenges for this group involved lack of feedback from leadership and the lack of social interaction in general. Ensuring that leadership is actually looking at results or participating in the trainings will allow those leaders to get the information they need to provide feedback to their employees. Encouraging weekly (or just repetitive) 1-1 meetings and group meetings with their team will also address a lot of problems this group has. If a training can be done in person with a collaborative group, that would be even better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/2c77b360-5849-4c09-96d9-4b3fb652ad2a/persona+2.png Blog - Examples of Learner Personas and Empathy Maps - Make it stand out How to address this persona’s prior learning experiences, attitudes towards learning, social/emotional needs, and barriers to learning? This persona's prior learning involves very flexible learning arrangements. I would ensure their e-learning experience would involve choices as well as self-pacing. Flexibility and different modes of learning are important to this group of learners. I would ensure this group has the flexibility they need to address the work-life balance concerns. I would also want this group to have some interaction with their employees after they learn something new that affects them like communication. That way this group can get the feedback from their employees to understand what is/is not working. This group is supportive of their coworkers/employees according to pg. 14 of the case study, but it is not clear if the coworkers/employees feel the same. It would be good to challenge the belief that their communication is clear and helpful by having them review employee responses. Challenging the perception of "already knowing something" might be important for leadership teams in general at this company. Once the communication issues are addressed, the trust that their employees are doing what they need to should be addressed as well. A fine line needs to be established between being a good communicator and micromanaging their team since that can be a negative experience that causes higher turnover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/428c929d-1608-44a9-b944-1efaf0e17c1b/empathy+map+1.png Blog - Examples of Learner Personas and Empathy Maps - Make it stand out I called my first group (Group A: Carrier Sales Representatives) “Socially Motivated Learners”. The reason for this title is that the case study made it clear that this group really misses the in-person interactions with their peers as well as customers . A commonality among this groups responses dealt with the fact that they miss those interactions and wish that they could better utilize/understand the communication tools that they have access to . In the survey results this group also noted that their rankings of importance for certain skills are higher than their self-assessments of those skills. Another thing they mentioned is the need for feedback from their leadership team. They are a social group, they are motivated to improve their skills, and they are motivated by feedback from leaders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/7e01648f-e258-4b6c-ba7c-ed8fc280464c/empathy+map+2.png Blog - Examples of Learner Personas and Empathy Maps - Make it stand out I called my second group (Group F: Operations Managers) “Independent Adaptable Leaders”. The reason for this title is that the case study made it clear that this group is doing well adapting to the remote environment. The position itself requires a level of people skills, but I think the most obvious commonality is their need to be autonomous/independent in how they work. This position has a group of competitive people according to the case study, that alone can be a major motivating factor for those people. It also does not appear that they get much feedback from their leaders, however it is not indicated whether this is actually a problem due to their more independent nature. https://www.learningmaker.space/blog/learner-personas-and-empathy-maps monthly 0.5 2023-03-08 https://www.learningmaker.space/blog/hello-paypal-user monthly 0.5 2023-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/dd57ad35-eae7-4670-b0f2-f968a20db539/E4C5DEA2-0357-4874-B1CC-8DEE3A9C21C0.png Blog - Hello, PayPal user… - Make it stand out The phone numbers on the phishing email do not match the actual contact information from PayPal.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/c3bf440a-7fd6-4569-b911-1a5245cbdbc1/Screen+Shot+2023-02-07+at+8.12.07+PM.png Blog - Hello, PayPal user… - Make it stand out Right now PayPal has this red banner on different pages when you are logged into your account telling you where to forward https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/86e55f61-b608-4c22-b1b2-45e555daa197/4421B0D2-DDBB-4150-BE62-5A43ED6D032D.png Blog - Hello, PayPal user… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/7b60a6f1-7956-4439-a13a-f51fac9ed6e2/Screen+Shot+2023-02-07+at+7.44.16+PM.png Blog - Hello, PayPal user… - Make it stand out Different browsers may display addresses differently - REMEMBER not to click on any links in an email you suspect is fraud https://www.learningmaker.space/blog/what-is-learning-experience-design-lxd monthly 0.5 2023-02-06 https://www.learningmaker.space/contact-us daily 0.75 2024-08-08 https://www.learningmaker.space/home daily 1.0 2024-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/a7eceb43-3200-41da-8e46-a5cd13546105/B9BA1424-D4B4-491A-873A-3A425E259B6C.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/5768e9f6-1ebe-409b-99d8-ff2cfd1ec316/A842CE8D-AE08-463A-9273-F76A8D738886.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/1df4f729-6579-4a99-ae7f-888e1f38bc4d/BE25F42F-FC46-47DD-B7AD-99361E91E9F6.png Home https://www.learningmaker.space/portfolio daily 0.75 2023-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/4146eaa3-bf88-4d77-af26-dc960fe9f95d/titleper.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/2ae756f7-e7bf-4fcc-83dc-940f30ef6f2e/Screenshot+2023-06-10+180332.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/1795b369-ef8b-4238-b769-264cd08fbf9e/1545EAFA-56A4-442E-8DE9-2C23EDF5D7A7_4_5005_c.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/949617dd-682e-4f02-a875-e0fd2bd552f6/Screenshot+2023-01-31+162642.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/f2f9c8d3-c73f-463d-8284-1431671ea2c6/Screenshot+2023-05-10+112452.jpg https://www.learningmaker.space/maker-space-guides daily 0.75 2024-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6328829d6922c81dc0002d4b/1680018005672-4UC45NN5WVVVEHTGNSAW/unsplash-image-Uu5fnOkFAdA.jpg https://www.learningmaker.space/new-page daily 0.75 2024-08-08 https://www.learningmaker.space/shop daily 0.75 2022-09-19 https://www.learningmaker.space/shop/p/gift-card-n7az9 monthly 0.5 2022-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624b3c6dbfcb28795baabd33/1649097847524-NKXC8EO6FW3XXIQ3DCUK/giftcard-template.jpg Shop - Gift Card https://www.learningmaker.space/shop/p/cactus-j98fk monthly 0.5 2022-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624b3c6dbfcb28795baabd33/1649097847439-NODGSAVJKHZP4F7AVBMG/Ecomm_16_Cactus2_005.jpg Shop - Cactus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624b3c6dbfcb28795baabd33/1649097847446-G507CZYLVAPHZZZLUJFW/texture-cactus.jpg Shop - Cactus
