[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What Words Go With “Learning”?

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What Words Go With “Games”?

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Other Alternatives?

Survey Says… …” Immersive Learning” is close

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],How Do We Sell It? “ A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet, but would a game by some other name sell to the executive suite?” - Jeff Johannigman

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Why ILS?
