- Players (“learners”) complete series of challenges, independently and/or collaboratively with other users, in order to earn badges and win the game. Challenges consist of drill-and-practice, matching, and scavenger-hunt learning activities (Horton, 20XX).

- The learning problem that needs to be addressed is that of youth learners’ perceptions of 12-step programs for addiction recovery to become more factual and relational (Flynt, 2011). There’s a significant need for more accessible, differentiated instruction about addiction and addiction recovery, especially for the game’s target audience. Stories About the Steps differentiates instruction about 12-step programs for these Millennial youth learners through personal computing devices, gamification, and social learning. Socializing this instruction generalizes the subject matter for learners and incites dialogues around topics. And gamification makes what is generally perceived as heavy, serious subject matter lighter, more engaging, and fun.

- Audience profile Stories About the Steps is designed for youths (i.e. adolescents or teenagers) between 13 and 19 years old, targeting those in active addiction or at high-risk for developing addictions. As these youths may be in special education or behavioral/addiction treatment programs, the game’s audience includes learners with mental and physical health conditions such as emotional disorders and learning disabilities (Flynt, 2011, May). Although their education levels range between seventh and 12th grades, only an estimated 50 to 75% of learners in special or treatment programs perform at or above the fifth-grade reading level, which the game’s content accommodates (Flynt, 2011, May). Despite emotional and learning disadvantages, the majority of these “Millennial” (Generation Y, 2013) and “digital native” (Homeland Generation, 2013) youths have experience using personal computers and the Internet, at least in academic contexts, and many have prior experience with the game’s content.

- Members of the Millennial generation, also referred to as “Generation Y,” are said to have been born as late as the early 2000s, or as recent as a decade ago (Generation Y, 2013). Under this definition, the greater portion of the age range of the Stories About the Steps audience may be considered members of this Millennial generation (Generation Y, 2013). In its white paper, Access Technologies Group (2012), described Millennial-generation learners as follows:
- These individuals:Prefer a self-directed approach to learning.Expect engaging and meaningful visual and auditory input from their learning tools.Insist that what they learn is directly applicable to them and can be put into practice immediately.Enjoy making their own determinations through exploration and experimentation rather than simply being told that something is so.Demand instant gratification and immediate feedback as a result of their short attention spans.Assume that needed information will always be available “on-demand.”Are adept at seeking out and synthesizing data from a multitude of sources.Can effectively perform multiple tasks simultaneously.Value working together as a means of validating and expanding their own insights and belief system. (Access Technologies Group, 2012)
- Members of the digital native generation, also referred to as “Generation Z” and the “Net Generation,” are said to have been born as early as the mid-1990s, perhaps as long as 18 years ago (Homeland Generation, 2013). Under this definition, the Stories About the Steps audience may be considered members of this digital native generation. In a Learning Solutions Magazine article, Phil Cowcill (2012) listed seven tips for designing eLearning for both Millennial and digital native learners, as follows:
- Speed. … As professionals, we need to make sure that we have optimized all media elements for a network delivery.Customize. … If learners can customize their learning, then they are more likely to take ownership of it.Push information. ... Let your program push important information to the learner while they are in the course.Collaboration. When learning with technology, it’s still very important to maintain a connection with others. Not everyone plays well with others, but a majority of learners do enjoy a sense of affiliation. For some, it is the affiliation with classmates, coworkers, friends, and even strangers that keeps them motivated to learn. Allowing collaboration will help motivate learners, and it also establishes a sense of accountability. …Fun. Learning has to be fun. … You still need solid content, but the experience the user has while taking your course deserves even more thought. …Deliver what I need. … One good methodology is to use the “test and tell” method. This is where you quiz the learner on something immediately. If they know the answer, they can progress and get some qualitative feedback. However, if they answer wrong, the lesson material will appear. Once they have been through material they can be tested again to ensure they have learned it.Anytime, anywhere. … Generally, if you want the learner to have access anytime and anywhere, you need to look at packaging your content as a native app. This will ensure they can access it anytime, even if there isn’t a connection. (Cowcill, 2012)
