Games are great tools for learning. And just so we're clear, designing games for learning is very different from gamification. Learning is a large part of all games, but building a game with the specific intent of teaching a specific concept, idea or process, is not easy.
Myra Roldan created a game to teach about the basics of blockchain. And if you're asking yourself what the heck is blockchain, then this episode, and the game, are for you.
The game is temporarily titled: LearnCoin (for now).
She is creating a blockchain game with the objective of teaching L&D and others how blockchain works. To build knowledge of the inner working so that team and individuals can be thinking of potential use cases and applications in learning. She is currently prototyping the game and it will evolve as she play tests with people in industry.
Join us for an engaging conversation around building a game for learning.
