Summary
While the intent is to teach how to facilitate a fun learning game, some of the sections are daunting and downright tedious! I also wasn't getting the results I was hoping for with the certification program i.e. of the first 50 people that signed up, only 3 completed the certification program while most were unresponsive.
So what then? Maybe a game? Perhaps, one that would require players to interact with each other.
After working through the initial teething issues through the first several batches, I was ready to launch the competitive mode which really brings the game to life.
As each person played the game they were completing their certification program.
So what's my point? Games can be a powerful tool to enable engagement and interaction when used purposefully.
