Game Thinking: From Content to Actions
L&D professionals may think of games and gamification as silver bullets for engagement and motivation issues that add fun to workplace learning. But they need to use those tools to show value, rather than showcase fun. This requires a mindset shift and a move from content to actions through game thinking. In this issue of TD at Work, Zsolt Olah delves into the definition of games and gamification. He also: · details considerations for building a game-based learning strategy that is engaging and effective · presents case studies of when to use game-based learning or gamification and when not to. · offers tips on how to keep learners—that is, players—in mind while building learning games.
Press Start
Shortlisted for the 2020 Business Book Awards Do you know someone obsessed with a mobile game like Candy Crush? Have you ever felt a rush when you completed a task... and perhaps another when you crossed it off your to-do list? Or maybe you have that one running-obsessed friend who has to log everything on their fitness app? The fact is, these obsessions and 'highs' affect all of us, and they can be powerful drivers in terms of how we behave. In an increasingly commoditized world, marketers are always looking for new ways to influence or motivate us to be better engaged with their products, services, and brands. This is marketing gamification: the practice of taking the motivational elements...
How Video Games Made the Metaverse
This book offers an unflinching look at the creative and structural challenges of storytelling in interactive media. Drawing on over 30 years of industry experience, Kelly Vero explores the rich interplay between narrative, design and technology, making the case for why story, far from being a cosmetic layer, is foundational to player engagement, emotional investment and lasting value in games and virtual worlds. The book unpacks how narrative design works across different genres and platforms: from AAA games and sandbox titles to immersive metaverses, offering a toolkit of questions and techniques to help creators build experiences that resonate. Vero brings the reader inside the design pro...
Systems-of-Systems Perspectives and Applications
This professional technical book presents complex topics on System-of-System (SoS) and Systems-of-Systems (SOS) engineering, SOS enterprise architecture (SOSEA) design and analysis, and implementation of SOSEA framework along with the modeling, simulation and analysis (MS&A) models in MATLAB. In addition, the book also extends the use of SOS perspectives for the development of computer simulation models for complex processes, systems, decision support systems, and game-theoretic models. This book is intended for two reader categories; namely, a primary and secondary category. The primary category includes system engineers, SOS architects, and mathematicians. The secondary category includes scientists and researchers in space/airborne systems, wireless communications, medicine, and mathematics, who would benefit from several chapters that contain open problems and technical relevance.

Game Thinking
During her time working on genre-defining games like The Sims, Rock Band, and Ultima Online, Amy Jo learned that customers stick with products that help them get better at something they care about, like playing an instrument or leading a team. Amy Jo has used her insights from gaming to help hundreds of companies like Netflix, Disney, The New York Times, Ubisoft and Happify innovate faster and smarter, and drive long-term engagement.
