Looking to gamify your e-learning but feel overwhelmed by tight deadlines? You don’t need full-blown games—just 5 reusable game ingredients built in Storyline. In this video, I’ll show you how to create engaging learning challenges using tools like interactive gauges, hint systems, countdown timers, and progress bars, without adding extra work. These elements are easy to integrate and keep learners active, improving retention and real-world application.
You’ll also learn to harness the power of randomness with dice rolls to mimic real-life variability, making repetitive activities feel fresh and motivating. Whether it’s adjusting difficulty levels or promoting self-directed learning, these ingredients are essential for creating effective gamified e-learning.
Skip the gimmicks and focus on what works—active learning mechanics that turn your training from boring to engaging. Perfect for instructional designers who want game-based engagement without extra tech or budget.
When I was starting out as an instructional designer, I made one of the biggest mistakes you can make: I designed a detailed training game for a prospective client before they even signed the contract. Not only did they not hire me, but I ended up giving away my ideas for free.
Fast forward to today, and I recently stumbled upon one of those forgotten game designs. Looking at it now, I realized it has elements that could be incredibly useful to instructional designers looking to engage their learners.
In this video, I bring that design back to life and build it from scratch. It’s a competitive training game that simulates a complex system—perfect for teaching nuanced skills like business acumen. As I recreate the game in Storyline, I also walk you through:
How a fake opponent can motivate learners without the complications of real-time multiplayer or leaderboards. The challenges of designing for engagement while maintaining simplicity and balance. Why creating detailed game designs upfront can lead to problems (and what to do instead). Whether you’re curious about gamifying your training or want inspiration for designing e-learning games that challenge and captivate your audience, this video is packed with insights. Learn how to design competitive games, avoid common mistakes, and create gamified e-learning that learners actually enjoy.
Join me as I reflect on past lessons, share practical design strategies, and showcase the possibilities of gamification in instructional design. If you’ve been searching for ways to make your training stand out and engage learners on a deeper level, this video is for you.

Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward.
This video is from almost 15 years ago and is as true today as it was then. As I watch more companies force workers back into offices and cling to the ways things have always been, I wish more of them would watch this video and take note.

I look forward to seeing where this blogcast goes. I agree that the limited definition of gamification that has been used to date is flawed, at best, when applied outside of business and learning contexts. The key takeaway here was the discussion of how game designers optimize for fulfillment over fun.
The rabbit hole I spent too much time in today was exploring variations of abecedarian and how the idea might play into upcoming workshops and content. For those who are also today years old learning…

One of their most successful initiatives, though, seems straight out of a kindergarten classroom: the city rewards employees for small acts of innovation with digital “badges”. The Louisville Metro Badge Program rewards employees for tasks like creating a
