Playing With Innovation, Creativity & Learning: With Special Guests Karl Kapp, Kevin Thorn & Deborah

The most innovative creators and thinkers in L&D have one thing in common - they love to play. There is plenty of research that proves the value of play within learning, whether that be growing relationships to form stronger teams, improving performance in work, happier employees... the list goes on. But for adults, play sounds too much like the opposite of work and so it isn’t taken seriously as a valuable practice and life skill.

This week Chris and Brent are talking with a few special guests to learn more about how you can improve your learning outcomes by incorporating PLAY into your programs. Join us for a special announcement as well. It’s a week long experience with experts and peers that you will not want to miss.

Chatting with us this week: Karl Kapp, Kevin Thorn and Deborah Thomas.

Karl is a professor at Bloomsburg University for Instructional technology and the Director of the Institute for Interactive Technologies. His goal is to help people understand the convergence of learning, technology, games & game-thinking through fun, laughter and insight (grounded by evidence-based practices).

Kevin is an award-winning eLearning designer & developer, consultant, and owner of NuggetHead Studioz, LLC., a boutique custom design and development studio specializing in online learning experiences.

Deborah Thomas is the President, Owner and Senior Consultant at SillyMonkey LLC. She is currently focused on games design and development in training.
