On The ART of Online Course Creation, @Mary Nunaley and I talked about gamefication and how to do it right. In episode #61, Beyond Badges and Leaderboards: Better Gamification for Online Courses, we dove into what works and what doesn't work and how different people respond to different types of incentivization. Mary is a learning engineer and co-founder of The Lavender Dragon Team. She turns complex ideas into human-centered learning experiences using storytelling, game-based design, and thoughtful applications of AI. Mary focuses on building learning that actually changes behavior not just checks a completion box. Her work sits at the intersection of learning science, creativity, and practical AI integration for modern educators and creators. I was honoured to have Mary on the show, and I hope you'll take some time to listen to the episode. It is definitely food for thought, and will give you practical tips and insights for your own courses and communities. Listen here!

The CLASSIFIEDS own @Krista Brea will be hosting a masterclass Monday evening about self-publishing and how she's done it herself, strategically, so that your book actually works for you. If you or anyone you know is thinking about possibly self-publishing, you won't want to miss this - please share the link with anyone you think might be interested. Here is what Krista has to say: As a self-publisher and SEO strategist, I’ve learned that the real power of a book isn’t just in writing it, it’s in using it to elevate your expertise and create income streams. One of the biggest mistakes creators make is choosing a topic that no one is searching for, and that’s exactly what we’re going to fix. I’ll walk you through how to validate your book idea before you write it, so you can move forward with confidence knowing there’s real demand behind it. This is your shortcut to starting smarter, saving time, and building something that has true income potential.
