Question 12

What type of user data (analytics) can I track?

Accepted Answer

Training is useless without analytics. Simply checking a box or using a five-question assessment at the end of a course isn&rsquo;t effective. Trainers who want to improve knowledge and optimize behavior must engage their audience throughout the training with games and activities to (1) provide a practice playground and (2) deliver a comprehensive analysis. The Training Arcade&reg; analytics dashboard is engineered to unveil patterns of individual and group engagement with your material, thereby improving your training ROI by revealing knowledge gaps, personality behaviors, and group comparisons. View and sort topline data including the number of users, scores, rank, sessions, session duration, % of questions correct/incorrect, and total questions answered. Analyze individual outcomes by looking at all sessions played, how each player answered each question by session, how many attempts it took them before answering a question correctly, and identify insights into knowledge acquisition and retention. Review macro trends for each question including time required to answer, the number of times players have attempted to answer, and the % of time players have answered correctly/incorrectly. Dig deeper into each answer to identify any misperceptions. Sort data by date for comparison purposes and export as a CSV file to share with stakeholders.

Question 13

Can I download the data from each game to a spreadsheet?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can download the assessment data using date ranges from your analytics dashboard to a .csv file and easily import that into Excel.

Question 14

Can the analytics reflect leaderboards for separate groups in the same company?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but an additional cost will be involved.

Question 15

Can point values for different types of questions be adjusted?

Accepted Answer

In JEOPARDY!&reg; and Scenarios yes. Point values don&rsquo;t exist in the other games.

Question 17

How do I add The Training Arcade games to my LMS?

Accepted Answer

The Training Arcade games can all be published as SCORM 2004: 3rd Edition and SCORM 1.2 packages for easy integration into the majority of LMS.

Question 18

If the game is played within a course, will the course recognize the user based on their LMS login?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is no. Instead, when a game is embedded as a web object in a course, you would want to enable registration in The Training Arcade game builder so your users can quickly register at the start of the game. We are working on a single sign-on that would handle registration automatically.

Question 19

Do I get access to all the games in The Training Arcade with my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Each subscription has a yearly license fee for one game type (ex. Jump, Match, Scramble, etc) per creator. Each game type license allows you to create unlimited games of that game type, all with different content. So if you buy a yearly license of the Jump game for your lead developer, he or she can create as many Jump games with different questions as he or she wants. And your whole company can play all those Jump games as often as they want!

Question 20

Is it only one creator per subscription? Why only one?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it&rsquo;s one. That way, all the games created by that person and the assessments are kept confidential to that one person, who we call the Administrator. We do offer great discounts for companies that purchase multiple subscriptions. Contact us for a quote.

Question 21

How many instances can I make using the games in my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Each game type license allows you to create unlimited game instances of that game type, all with different content.
