Gamification is a hot concept in the e-learning world. We know we have to engage and keep learners learning. We know people struggle to find time to take classes, go to conferences, and generally engage in professional development. And we know that easily more than half of the workforce was raised in a gaming culture. So it seems like gamification is a one-size-fits-all solution. 

But hold on...let's not make that leap just yet. Just because it's a hot concept doesn't mean it's the right concept for all situations. We'll ask a few simple questions to help determine if gamification is the perfect solution. And share tips to meet your learning goals if it is.
