Summary
We learning specialists may have found ways to make learning more attractive again.
Game-based learning means using a game in such a way that learners achieve one or more learning goals.
You should match any use of game mechanics against these learning objectives.
Depending on the depth of the learning objective, simple or more complex game mechanics are suitable.
In the corporate context, I recommend flanking digital learning measures with presence formats or at least online meeting formats.
If you are developing a learning game or gamification, you should start by teaching learners the rules of the game.
In a business game to sensitize the entrepreneurial way of thinking, hints must be given during the game so that the players have the chance to learn during the course of the game, and immediately apply what they have learned again.
A good story wins the attention of the learner, increases the fun of the game and, thus, the learning success.
Did you run over boxes as Mario to save Peach? Did you accompany Zelda with his adventures? In the learning game, a strong character can be played by the learner or even act as a mentor or coach.
A good story runs consistently through a learning game.
