Can you use gamification to connect a remote workforce, build learning engagement and improve new hire productivity? Can game mechanics really help us with the learning process?
Unequivocally, yes. And this is the question on the table in today's Learning Rebels Coffee Chat.
But first, let’s get a grasp on the difference between gamification and game-based learning.
Gamification is the use of game elements in any context that is non-game-related. Using the game mechanics without an actual game. For example, the use of avatars, incorporating challenges, badges, or incorporating a leaderboard (see your score against your friends – I killed more zombies than you did!)
Game-based learning is the development of an actual game. Having an active learning experience within a game framework, which has specific learning objectives and measurable outcomes. The game is the learning. Imagine “diner dash: restaurant” as a requirement for all food servers.
Turns out the most important thing to have when creating learning games, is a bit of imagination and creativity.
