Are games and gamification part of your learning strategy? We hope so. Game-based learning has been proven to increase employee participation, training enjoyment and knowledge retention. Perhaps your strategy is not quite right and consequently, you’re not seeing the desired results. We get it. The Game Agency interviewed five instructional designers about what could go wrong with a gamification strategy: They shared the 10 most common mistakes you may be making and how to fix them.

We now understand that gamification is more than throwing points, badges, and leaderboards at a program. And we’ve also peeked into the full potential of gamification with hundreds of possible mechanics, not to mention all the dynamics and other considerations that go into successful gamification. So where do we start? What do we have to have to create quality gamified programs, and what are the things we can add in later? This eBook provides some of the fundamental questions to inspire creative gamification design. It includes questions to ask yourself before you begin the gamification process, as well as questions to ask yourself continually throughout the process. Keep in mind, these questions will not apply to every situation and should be taken in context to what you are gamifying. Also, constant monitoring of feedback and metrics will be required as you slowly make incremental improvements, add new game features, and utilize new game mechanics.

Looking to add podcasting to your organization’s learning solutions, but not sure where to start? Podcasting provides a simple, low-investment option to meet the need for informal or casual learning. Podcasting is an accepted and easy way to provide and consume content, largely because it is a format that easily fits into our busy lives. Organizations are adopting podcasts every day to disseminate and deliver important information to their employees.

Organizations that have successful learning programs are  very often ones that start learning right away — during  the onboarding phase. Having a fully integrated onboarding process and fully  integrated technology allows organizations to treat onboarding  as part of a holistic process designed to show value to new  employees (or employees in new roles), which has an impact on  organizational culture, employee resilience and business metrics such as customer satisfaction and even revenue.   Explore these concepts further in OpenSesame's newest eBook, "Onboarding in 2022 - What Has Changed and What Remains Critically Important."

This webinar will teach a very innovative approach to combining coaching and artificial intelligence to maximize sales talent for performance and predictable results. With the economy in a state of uncertainty there has never been a better time to ensure that your sales team's performance is optimized. 

Then you want Engaging Virtual Meetings, the promising and surprising truth to thriving on Virtual

The only reason they will want to escape your virtual training is because that’s the assignment! Learning online is now commonplace. Unfortunately, engaging attendees to participate, to come on camera, and to unmute can be like "herding cats," as the saying goes. Establishing a comfortable, safe, and technically sound online learning environment is essential. Meaningful and relevant activities are the secret. Like tasty treats and fresh catnip, attendees will be unable to resist actively participating in your virtual training when you use escape game strategies, irresistible learning activities, and a "never fail" debrief strategy to help them reflect! Invite participants to take charge of their learning and experience virtual training like they’ve never seen before.

Your organization’s approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion matters, and has for a long time. In recent months, contributing to an employee’s sense of Belonging is proving to be massively important. Belonging is one of the fastest growing influences on how your employees and prospective employees, customers, partners, and others view the organization. This plays an increasingly large role in their decision to pursue a role with the organization or to leave. This eBook provides guidance on how learning and development can and should play a role to influence how employees experience an organization’s DEI&B. This eBook makes a case for how and why learning and development can be an agent for shaping the culture of an organization. Learning can contribute to a sense of employee belonging by creating a culture of engagement, opportunity within the organization, and productivity. Ultimately, supporting employee belonging can make great strides toward employee retention. In this eBook, we focus on a few key issues around Belonging: Tying Belonging to Strategic Talent Outcomes A Belonging self-assessment guide Opportunity checklist for ways to improve Community building Creating space to respond to changes

Your organization invests a great deal into learning and development programs. Do you know if your programs are working? Worth the investment of time and other resources? If your programs are meeting their goals, do you have insight as to why? Or, if they’re not performing well, do you know what they need to succeed? 

How do you design a presentation based on the values of accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)? This session offers insights into the value of inclusivity that you can use in your own presentations, or share with your boss/team/client/company. Join us in this deep dive into an incredibly important topic.

Transitioning content from classroom and elearning modules into bite-size microlearning isn’t as difficult as it sounds. One key to quick lesson design is finding a simple, repeatable template. In this session, you’ll discuss how to chunk existing content into microlessons, transform classroom and elearning modules into quick bursts of training, and deliver it in a nice red bow!

In today’s post-pandemic world, yesterday’s L&D strategies are falling short. Cultural changes including a remote/hybrid workplace, the new "metaverse," and the expectation of knowledge on-demand have forced learning strategies to change. Innovations including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), microlearning, video-based practice, and machine learning (ML) are getting better results, so you need to be prepared.

In recent years, instructional video has become a major part of online learning. Thousands of tutorials are available on Youtube and we have all become accustomed to watching all kinds of video tutorials covering the most diverse topics. Unfortunately, video only offers the learner a linear, non-interactive experience. As instructional designers, we know that interactivity is essential to providing learners with engaging experiences that maximize retention. Fortunately, Adobe Captivate 2019, has several tools for importing videos into your interactive eLearning content. You can even make your videos completely interactive with a few easy-to-use tools.

If you haven’t already been asked already to implement these newer strategies, expect it. Get a jumpstart on building your next-generation learning technology ecosystem with this eBook.

When we design instruction, we typically hope that participants will remember what they learn and use it back on the job. It makes little sense to teach people how to analyze, make decisions, solve problems, and so forth and not have it influence performance on the job, right? Except…
