Being an avid gamer, I can understand the argument for more “fun” in learning, but…being an experienced learning experience designer and learning program manager, I know that fun for the sake of fun does not make for effective learning. Rather than using a lot of resources in designing “fun” experiences, designers should concentrate on designing according to what makes things memorable and poignant to the learner – in other words, creating “future value” for the learner. I totally agree that “tarting up” is great after meaningful practice has taken place.
