Summary
As the marketing director of a company that offers gamified simulation training solutions, I believe there's a lot we can adapt from the gaming sector when it comes to training our teams and doing it well.
If The Sims 4, a game that simulates every mundane part of life - from eating and sleeping to washing - can attract 10 million monthly active users, then gamifying your training has the potential to transform business-critical-but-dreaded training into something your employees will actually want to do.
That's why gamified 3D simulated environments can be a useful training arena for employees to build skills sustainably.
By creating training that combines psychology, gaming and learning, you can provide corporate learners with fun, engaging and effective training.
Another area to consider is that you should ensure your training offers a safer environment for your employees to make mistakes and learn from them.
The answer might lie in SDT, and why the right knowledge and application of behavioral psychology is vital when it comes to creating gamified simulation training with impact.
Effective training does not only require the trainer to design the modules well but also to ensure they can track and assist employees well.
