Are you ready to become a keto Boss?

Overview

This scenario-based, eLearning experience is designed to help prediabetics develop sustainable ketogenic (or low-glucose) diets and implement daily microhabits to reduce their glucose levels and reverse prediabetes.

Houston, We have a problem… And Solutions!

PROBLEM

After receiving their most recent blood panels, the ever-busy Helena HealthyHeart and Darius DoublePecs discover that (gasp!) they are actually pre-diabetic!

::lightning strike::

However, there is still hope. While both of them sit on the cusp of diabetes, there is still time to make changes and turn their health around.

The catch: neither wants to control their blood sugar with medication, and their doctors are  pressuring them to do so.  

SOLUTION

The pair come to me (because why wouldn’t they?) for a sleek and immersive solution to their problem. After consulting with my lovely clients and analyzing their current lifestyles…

“EUREKA!”

…I realize that the primary problem lies with their diets and daily microhabits. To solve this problem, I propose an immersive, gamified elearning experience that will teach them how to adopt a ketogenic lifestyle and glucose-lowering habits that are crazy easy to implement into their busy lives and schedules!

THE ULTIMATE GOAL

Keeping my clients’ busy schedules and naturalist inclinations in mind, this learning experience will help both of them (as learners) to draw a connection between adopting a ketogenic diet, using daily microhabits, and lowering their A1C levels (aka long-term glucose).

My Process

As an data-driven educator and stats nerd, I find the Kirkpatrick Model the most useful when designing a results-driven, gamified learning experience.

As such, there are 5 steps I took when designing the KetoBoss! learning experience:

STEP #1:
I clarify the Client’s Desired Outcomes

i.e. “Client wants to reduce their long-term glucose levels (A1C) without using medication.

STEP #2:
I identify the outcome’s Key Performance indicators (KPIs)

i.e. “Glucose levels (A1C) must be reduced to <5.7% to be considered non-prediabetic”*

STEP #3:
I define the Behavior Changes necessary to achieve the KPI(s)

i.e. “Client will adopt a daily ketogenic or low-glucose diet for at least 3 months”

STEP #4:
I craft Learning Objectives that drive behavior change

i.e. “Client will IDENTIFY four ways that high glucose impacts health”

Step #5: i create Reactivity

Using adult learning principles, immersive design, and Mayer’s Multimedia Principles,  I develop diverse and gamified modes of engagement that incite enthusiasm, investment, and a positive reaction to the elearning experience.

Even *More* About My Process!

Step #1: Learning Objectives

After identifying my clients’ desired Outcomes, KPIs, and necessary Behavior Changes, I used Bloom’s Taxonomy to craft ELEVEN action-based learning objectives.

The actions learners will take in this experience include discovery, design, recallsynthesis, practice, and defeat! (High glucose, that is!)

Game & Story Structure Guide

Grab a peek or two into how I developed the story and game structure of this awesome learning experience!

Step #2: GAME & STORY STRUCTURE 

Once my learning objectives are nailed down, I lean on my extensive storytelling and dramatic writing skills to craft a strong story structure for the learning experience.

Using historical writing theories repurposed by Syd Field, Blake Snyder, and other pioneers in dramatic writing, I adopt the “Hollywood Model” to create four solid story acts for the KetoBoss! Game:

– the Setup (Act 1),
– the New World Adventure (Act 2A),
– the Trials & Tests (Act 2B),
– the Final Battle (Act 3)

Step #3: Action Map

Once I’ve outlined the game and story structure, I plan out the actions that the learner would need to take in order to learn the desired skills and advance the game to the next level.
