Big one this. And relates to the movies or sports thing posited by @usablelearning.

Is this a gestalt thing? And how does the bell curve relate to ISD? And culture? And antagonisms? And it all.

Need to sort out the cross-posting branding/strategy. And for how this gets added to the gogapedia.

This is really interesting. Games are, in themselves, enough of a context. In the same way that we don't need a context to dance when we're kids (or another analogy which works better...)

At school, we assume we need to provide context to make something interesting. But maybe the opposite is true at work - when we force people into a context it becomes dull.

Interesting.

If you're going to do the Big Four, you'll need some sense of learners creating the context for themselves - maybe creating the context is the 'real' skill?

There's something in this about having a service which you can use to 'educate' customers.

Instructional Design for Marketers. Now there's something to conjure with.

I didn't really get this when I first found it. But this helps.

The key here is that Social Learning and Gameification are pretty much about the same thing: transmedia

It's important to recall the way that the story in Elite helped me play the game, for example.

Crowdsourcing is and always has been a kind of game.

Remember the village fete? Where Mrs Miggins brings in her prize pig to win the best pig competition? This is crowdsourcing - the pig gets bred with others and pigs get fatter and there's more meat and everybody's happy.

A competition is a tool for processing information. Crowdsourcing is the same. Crowdsourcing is a game.

my thoughts on failing in games RT @natronbaxter: Wait, you mean you want me to fail? Hot new blog post:

Conformity and its influences HT @fakelvis who hates the twerm 'HT' (and probably 'twerm' too).

Oddly enough, the perfect onboarding session would have all of these. The perfect meeting very few. This is probably worth consideration.

Some of these cross over. Is this a problem? Do I cross post or do two-parters with a learning bit and a game end?

Anyhoo, Systems Thinking For The Win.

Key: embodying.

Interesting toy. I use the word advisedly. I think that, slowly, the #KM-ers are beginning to realise that people prefer KM toys rather than KM apps.

See video about 1 min in for the key line about playing.

You have to be able to play with the data for it to be any use at all.

You can have corporate Facebook, Yammer, Prediction Markets - why not something playful like Kickstarter?

How about using a Google-like 20% time?
