Episode description

A study came across our desks recently that said, gamification was “just a fad.”

We’re going to disagree with that, and so does our guest today Dr. Dave Eng; a creative intellectual, educator, designer, & researcher focusing on games, theory, and technology. Dave serves as the faculty member of NYU’s School of Professional Studies and the Principle Lead at University XP, a consulting group for game-based learning programs. He’s also the founder of Bandito’s Gaming, a registered 501(c)(3) social and educational non-profit organization that promotes play, community development, and learning through games.

So needless to say, he knows a thing or two about how games really work.

In this episode, we dive into how games have been used throughout history, the power of experiential learning, and how there are good games…and there are bad games.

If you’re a talent leader looking to engage your people, this is definitely another episode you’re not going to want to miss. So with that, let’s bring it in!
