Imagine the Possibilites - Inclusive 3D Immersive Learning
Serious Games | April 29th, 2009 | Session 4This session outlines some of the key considerations needed to design impactful learning in a 3D immersive world - learning that truly leverages the power of "human experience" that these platforms create. Building storylines that suspend disbelief, giving the learner a sense of presence, and stimulating strong cognitive and emotional responses are critical design elements, and yet they are often overlooked, dissipating the value of using an immersive world as the delivery platform. This session will discuss the importance of competition and fun as key ingredients in the overall learning experience, and outline the skill sets needed by companies looking to leverage the power of 3D immersive learning.
