SElearninggames REDESIGN is now open for public PLAYTEST

The redesign focuses in on a few simple "tools & rules" we can use to get started discovering the common questions and answers that social entrepreneurs face every day, balancing mission and money goals.

In fact, the answers to our first question are our questions!

I think the redesign makes it clearer how we can use integrated wiki and blog, and other web2.0 tools - together - to improve profitability for our earned income ventures. But the only way to tell if it really is better is if some folks play it.

So -- YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO COME OVER AND PLAY.

The later discussion in our April thread, plus the title of this May thread - totally brings this issue of earned income profitability to the forefront. The kinds of things that came up in the April thread, and the kinds of things likely to come up in this May thread -- are exactly the kinds of things that would constitute the "meat & potatoes" elearning game content that I believe we can create.

The redesign integrates a tool called BrainReactions (not unlike the Zooleo tool, with which we are familiar). BrainReactions allows us to not only generate our questions, but also to rate our questions. This rating capability enables us to discover the PATTERNS of the questions we have in common.

Then, we can pop our common questions back into the BrainReactions tool - generate answers - rate answers -- and discover the PATTERNS of the answers we have in common.

Once we have these sets of our common questions and our common answers, then we can discover the RELATIONSHIP between our common questions and our common answers. We discover that, most of the time, when most of us do "X", then, most of the time, "Y" happens. The relationship between our common questions and our common answers are the strategic meta-pattern solutions to our profitability problems. We can apply what we discover in the game to change the profitability outcome for our real-world venture.

That's my theory about how making this elearning game together will work for us.

We can harness our collective intelligence and our collective experience. My greatest passion is to create a space for us to do that in.

This is an invitation to play. (not a request for feedback on redesign (altho I'll certainly listen if you want to tell me something)) I'll feedback to you how its working!
