Overview

Are you a trainer or eLearning designer who wants to use games to engage your learners? While learning games and gamification have the potential to motivate and excite, your efforts can fall flat if not designed properly. To be successful, you need a solid strategy that carefully connects business goals to learning objectives and game mechanics.

In this webinar, you’ll see numerous examples of both full-fledged learning games and gamified learning experiences. Sharon Boller shares best practices from her book, “Play to Learn: Everything You Need to Know About Designing Effective Learning Games,” as well as lessons learned across numerous corporate learning projects that included learning games and gamification. She introduces her steps to effective learning game or gamification design, explores different ways to gamify a learning experience, and shares case studies of effective implementations.

Attendees will learn

  • How to link game mechanics and game elements to the science of learning and remembering.
  • The three most crucial and overlooked learning game design and gamification steps
  • How to apply best practices and avoid common pitfalls to using games and gamification for learning
