Keeping them interested

Kathy Sierra can always be depended upon to call things as they are, and to cut to the chase. This podcast is a gauntlet if ever I saw one. Particularly to designers of learning materials.

The core message is:

• Devise rewards
• Offer them often
• Move users on to the next level and the next reward

It's a spiral effect and the trick is to keep the learner in the spiral - always moving on to the next target, the next reward, the next level, rather than simply heading for one end goal.
