I’ve been meaning to write a full post about my experience in this awesome conference, but day to day operations of Professor Game (and life) has been keeping me way too busy, so for now, below you can find my presentation on Slideshare, a video recorded thanks to Aysu Erensoy (BIG thanks for this again!) from Gamification Turkey and some pictures as well thanks to my lovely wife, who also met many Continue Reading →

Originally posted here at Andrzej Marczewski’s Gamified UK A while ago, Andrzej Marczewski wrote “6 Tips for Short Term Gamification“, and there is one that stood out for me because of my experience creating interactive learning materials at IE Business School.
