Game-based learning for employees? - Learning Business Finland
Dr. Tony O’Driscoll is responsible for Performance Analysis and Design at IBM. He has spent over fifteen years in organizational learning roles and has most recently been researching the potential applications of synthetic worlds and MMORPGs to real-world corporate applications. He was interviewed by checkpoint e-learning on elearning in the future. We assume that IBM is adopting or at least experimenting with Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) for the training of employees. Would you give us some insights into that game world? We are investigating avatar-mediated 3D environments on a number of fronts. William Gibson’s famous quote, “The future is already here; it’s just not very evenly distributed,” is quite salient to our research endeavours in this space.
