Here is what Koreen wrote in the chapter:Īlternate reality games (ARGs), also sometimes called pervasive games or transmedia storytelling, are designed to combine real life and digital game play elements.
She contributed an entire chapter to my upcoming book explaining the two terms and has created ARGs and implement them successfully. Let's look at the terms, to help define the terms, I asked Koreen Olbrish who is a self-described-opinionated and snarky entrepreneur, instructional designer, learner and mom who has experience developing ARGs and who blogs at Learning in Tandem for her expert input. The term ARG is batted around from time to time as a method of conducting training programs but there is a lot of confusion around the term. In addition to discussing Gamification, I also wanted to take one of my January blog postings and talk about ARG.
