Gamification for Talent Development - Deconstructing the Psychology of Games to Entice, Engage, and Encourage Learners
Wouldn’t it be great to know how to introduce a gaming dimension into the corporate training programs you design or deliver? What would it look like to include game elements such as points, levels, challenges, rewards, and easter eggs to drive participation, engagement, retention, and to achieve a measurable ROI?
Learner Objectives:
This hands-on, LIVE playshop takes you through the 5-step process of gamifying a training program. You’ll learn how to:
- Define your measurable business objec-ves and determine how Gamification will help you to achieve your objectives
- Weave analogies and stories to make the training stickable – so that players remember facts and transfer skills to real world scenarios
- Create the right mix of ingredients and next steps in your learning activities to allow the participants to acquire knowledge and skill
- Identify the game elements (points, badges, leaderboards, etc.) and game mechanics (chance, competion, collaboration, rewards, etc.) you will use
- Construct a consistent, atractive - even charming and captivating - cohesiveness that ties the entire project together
- Answer the question: Is it fun?
