Your Training More Playful: Understanding Gamification
This will be
the first of two online events on the topic, starting with an introduction-level
workshop of half a day (3+ hours). If you find it valuable and wish to learn
more, you can register for the longer intermediate workshop, a more in-depth event
outlining elements of architecture and examples of using GBL and gamification
in the classroom and workplace. The longer intermediate workshop requires
attending this introduction-level event as a pre-requisite.
At the Make
Your Training More Playful Online Workshop you will learn:
- Ideas for building your own fun and
thought-provoking activities.
- How to incorporate reflective
exercises to better assess employee and student learning.
- A model for how to evaluate
existing games for possible adoption by your organization.

improve your learners’ participation, commitment, engagement, and loyalty.
