Pentaquest, led by Kerstin Oberprieler, worked with an Australian Government Department to implement gamification with the objective of increasing their employees' engagement with professional development.

Like many government agencies, this department was seeking a mechanism to shift their culture to one that more collaborative in nature and focused on professional development. A culture where individual activities and goals are clearly linked to broader organizational priorities and strategies. 

Their question, "How do we empower and motivate staff to improve the quality and quantity of performance feedback, engage in positive management practices and take responsibility for continuous professional development?”

Rev was developed in response to that question, and was recognized as a Training Magazine Award finalist for Excellence in eLearning or Web-Based Gamification Design at GamiCon 2018.

According to the National Association for Music Education, over 50% of students quit their school’s music program after 1-2 years of starting. Among the key reasons given is the fact that teachers do not provide enough opportunities for engagement and fun with the content.

A public school teacher was looking for a way to drive down these dropout rates, while breathing new life into abstract musical concepts.

The result was a bite-sized lesson on musical rhythm, paired with a quirky, choose-your-own-adventure narrative.

While built for a grade-school audience, this gamified microlearning has potential for adult audiences as well.

At the Academy for Professional Excellence, a program of the San Diego State University School of Social Work their purpose is to revolutionize the way people work to ensure the world is a healthier place. They provide exceptional learning and development experiences for the transformation of individuals, organizations and communities.

Child protection is extremely complex work as social workers manage the needs of the families they encounter every day, as well as a set of uncertain policies and often competing community priorities. There is often a barrage of system improvements all driven by well-meaning politicians, community stakeholders and government agencies with very little guidance.

This backdrop makes it difficult to make impactful learning experiences.

In response to the need for quality and accessible professional development, Ventura County embarked on a practice improvement using a set of skills and strategies named Safety Organized Practice. At the same time the State of California was endeavoring to develop a unified framework for practice in child welfare across all 58 counties.

Ventura asked the Academy to develop an innovative learning experience for their staff that help them integrate the two practice strategies in a seamless manner.

This game was developed to advance the Academy’s vision for excellence by Amy Jaffe, Laurel Rohlf, and Valarie Ryan
