Event Information
About this Event
Whether you have used gamification in the past and want to get a fresh perspective or you are just starting to explore using gamification to create more engagement in your courses, this interactive session will help you achieve those goals.
You will get to explore the GAME Plan, a proven gamification framework that brings structure to the process of gamifying learning experiences. GAME stands for Goals, Audience, Mechanics, and Experience.
By creating clearly defined goals and identifying your audience and their motivations, the right mix of gameful elements can be incorporated to create an experience that not only achieves the desired results but keeps the learners coming back for more.
Session objectives include:
- Identify and dispel some myths about gamification
- Explain the GAME Plan framework
- Discuss ways to identify who your learners are and what motivates them
- Explore the power of gameful elements like choice, progress indicators, story, challenges, and surprise
- Review some examples and resources that show how gamification can elevate the learner experience and improve learning outcomes
