Motivation Scoring game element was a powerful motivator Restarted seeing they were being scored Grabbed pads of paper to take notes Wanted to get questions right
Story The narrative was a powerful element in the pull of the game Learners recounted details Need for closure
Story Be careful—has to be relevant Younger audience had harder time
