Claim One:
1. An instructional design tool comprising: at least one component implemented in a computer infrastructure configured to: receive recorded knowledge from a worker, wherein the recorded knowledge includes work-related knowledge; save the recorded knowledge in a standardized XML schema, wherein the standardized XML schema includes one or more objects derived from the recorded knowledge; visually model a gaming scenario by adding scenario specific details comprising graphical content defined by values associated with classes of respective models to the one or more objects included within the standardized XML schema, wherein the respective models include a world model having object interactions, enumerations, world property repository, an event superset, a world map class that defines different world maps, a world class that defines properties in a selected world, an events in a world class that defines events in the world, and a world property class that provides labels and defines the world properties; provide information regarding the scenario specific details for verification; receiving verification of the scenario specific details; and translate the added scenario specific details for the one or more objects into the standardized XML schema such that an XML feed including the standardized XML schema is automatically generated for use by a gaming layer, wherein the gaming layer uses the automatically generated XML feed to prepare a gaming engine for producing a learning game; and a graphical user interface configured to: provide a field comprising the models and the classes, which are viewable in a hierarchical format on the graphical user interface; receive input from a user comprising a selection of at least one of the models or the classes via the graphical user interface based on the one or more objects derived from the recorded knowledge; generate a template including fillable fields comprising the values used to define the graphical content of the selected model or classes for the scenario specific details, such that the template provides the graphical content incorporated with the one or more objects derived from the recorded knowledge; receive the values as input in the fillable fields, wherein the values provide information for the added scenario specific details; and display the standardized XML schema.
