Complex Mechanics: 9 Gamed-Up Teaching Approaches

ADD TO WISHLIST >

**For Teachers, Training Managers, Instructional Designers & Learning Game Designers** (Great for professional development workshops!)

by Prof. Joe Bisz

One of the biggest challenges for educators and training managers is to create meaningful exercises, which means quick, non-digital exercises that give their learners both deep learning and engagement. 

This game presents you with 9 teaching templates that gamify any of your existing instructional exercises, whether for the classroom or workplace. All templates are academically grounded: classified by Bloom’s taxonomy, deep learning principles, and engagement mechanics. With these cards, you are walked through a brainstorming session where you will design your own non-digital learning game!

This game shows you how to adapt ANY of your existing lesson plans or instructional ideas into a game. It is a little more advanced than my other game about game design “What’s Your Game Plan?”. It can be used as a stand-alone game, or together with “What’s Your Game Plan?” as an expansion.

Important Note on Instructions: This game does NOT come with printed instructions; you must download them by clicking the View Rulebook link above.

Length:  25 minutes

Players: 1-8 players

Contents:  9 Complex Mechanic cards, 5 Simple Mechanic cards, 4 Action cards, 1 Rule Card (19 cards total)

Edition: Allure of Play.

--This version has the most updated cards that reflect the images in my new book about these concepts. The book is called "The Educator's Guide to Designing Games and Creative Active-Learning Exercises: The Allure of Play" and can be purchased on Amazon here https://amzn.to/3lSY5S5.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
