This novel quadripartite framework fuses Yu Kai Chow’s Octalysis Framework which focuses on gaming elements, Bloom’s Taxonomy which focuses on learning levels of the learner, Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning which focuses on learning channels, and Ruskov’s four evidences of Deep Learning. As a result, this research aims to augment Human Resource Development efforts and contribute to adult Deep
