A flash-based on-the-job training game

Abstract

Most of research results show that the educational games are good to increase student's learning motivation in formal learning. This research reveals the project of designing and implementing a web-based educational game within a real corporate environment. It is amazing to find that what a real world company looks for is such a small and simple game. The game has been approved by the officer and used to provide to phone and face-to-face sales who have no minimum necessary knowledge of selling watercrafts insurance and have interest in using game-based learning mode instead of traditional PowerPoint presentation mode. The results show that the game mode's dispersion is quite high, showing a more volatile situation. Good news is, although the employees did not like the game itself, they are still willing to try the game, instead of the presentation, if offered.
