Karl Kapp

With over 26 years of experience as a professor of instructional technology and 15 years as the Director of the Institute for Interactive Technologies at Bloomsburg University, I help people understand the convergence of learning, technology, games and game-thinking through fun, laughter and insight. I am an award-winning author, speaker, and consultant on gamification, interactive learning, and e-learning, and I believe that game-thinking is a more powerful tool than gamification for creating engaging and meaningful learning experiences.

As the founder of the Learning and Development Mentor Academy, I provide seasoned L&D professionals with access to a library of on-demand, self-paced workshops, monthly live sessions, and a vibrant community of peers and experts.

I also co-founded Enterprise Game Stack, a company that designs, develops and delivers online, digital card activities and games that keep participants focused, engaged, and collaborative, while reinforcing learning both in the moment and over time. My mission is to share my insights and perspectives through writing, consulting, coaching, and research, and to help others create interactive, motivating learning through innovative tools and methods.
