Description
When it comes to creating gamified or game-based learning experiences, most practitioners throw game mechanics at a program without a methodology or rational strategy – and hope it will work. They assume that what is fun for them will be fun for their participants. The result is a hit-or-miss mashup and a messy learner experience. When budgets and time are in short supply, organizations can no longer afford such an approach.
This webinar outlines a practical approach to determining which game mechanics will motivate a targeted audience. No more one-size-fits-all training programs; your learners are demanding more… and they deserve it!
In this webinar you’ll explore:
Who: Who are your learners and how can you use learner personas?
What: What will be “fun” for specific participants?
Why: Why do some people like competition while others prefer quiet concentration, and still others enjoy letting it all ride on black?
How: How can an empirically-based taxonomy of core human desires predict what will work and what won’t?
Now, instead of trying to force everyone to play, you’ll create experiences they want to engage with.
