Materials are a bit redundant; feels mostly self-guided, like a DIY workbook. Knowing games are more fun than learning brings you here, and recognizing the mechanics is neat, but doesn't translate to applied skill in non-gaming industries. The strongest part was the real-world example of the flight attendants who enjoyed finding flaws & translating that to gamified training. More examples along these lines (ways to apply gamification to non-gaming disciplines) might help the skills transfer more effectively.
