I should have posted this a few days ago, but I’m doing a webcast tomorrow (Wednesday May 15th, 1pm ET) for ASTD on using the psychology of game design for learning. Talking about some familiar stuff (flow, hyperbolic discounting) and a few new things (visceral feedback). Not sure if you…
Hey folks, this is a really excellent discussion of the issues and research around using extrinsic rewards as a way to motivate behavior. Chris Hecker is looking at the question through the lens of game design, but it really, really applies to learning design as well. There’s a write-up at…
So, my self-appointed mission today is to encourage as many people as possible to go look at the slides from Stephen Anderson’s latest talk about things like curiosity, design, play and experience. So so great. [slideshare id=14849448&doc=euro-ia-closing-plenary-what-are-you-curious-about-121023075139-phpapp01]

Hey — what are you doing on Sunday? I’m doing this: The concept of Flow has gotten a little overused in game design, but there are still useful insights and subtleties that can be applied to experience design. And, it’s free! And we’ll look at a PET scan of your…
