It provides a deep analysis and clear guidance to help practitioners develop effective social game-based learning solutions." CHARLES JENNINGS, Co-founder of the 70:20:10 Institute"This text is one of the "bibles" for the merging discipline of gamification, serious games, and simulations. It should be prominently displayed upon your bookshelf. The Appendices alone are worth the price of the text." MICHAEL SUTTON, Chief Gamification Officer at FUNIFICATION LLC and purveyor of sims and serious games within immersive learning environments."Some writers 'show off' their knowledge/skills. Ken does not do this as his knowledge/skills in these areas are first class and the style/content speak for themselves". ALAN ANDERSON, Vice Principal, Cambridge Flexible Learning"While there are many books on game design and adult learning, I would place this short book at the top of the list for anyone interested in game-based learning (GBL)."DR.
