ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Return on Investment (ROI) for Virtual environments and Gaming
How effective are virtual and gaming environments? Do they have an impact on the user’s learning, on their job or organization and/or do they have an impact on their daily life?
The presentation will include a discussion of Kirkpatrick – ROI levels 1-5 and how it is useful in the creation and evaluation of virtual gaming environments. Several virtual environments and games (Health Benefits, Pharmacy and Dentistry games for the Healthcare industry and a Tobacco prevention game for Middle school students) will be discussed and demonstrated and will describe how the evaluation results have impacted the effectiveness of the product and the user.
Participants who have conducted ROI evaluations will be asked to provide their product evaluation results and how it impacted the users. Participants who are interested in conducting an ROI evaluation will be asked to provide product descriptions and what results/proof they are looking for in conducting an evaluation.
