Nick Baum, Instructional Designer, Saffron Interactive 
 
In the blue corner Alex Webb, Saffron Interactive’s gamification guru, making the case for game-based learning. In the red corner, Nick Baum, a gaming enthusiast who takes a highly sceptical position on games from his instructional design perspective. As they debate the issues (or scrap it out), they’ll clarify for the ringside audience what gamification means, feature some examples and highlight the benefits and risks.
