Summary
What Is Gamification? Before we take a deep dive into the benefits of gamification in e-learning, let's briefly review what gamification means.
If you have been thinking about how gamification and learning connect, consider the works of Dmitri and the neuroscientists.
Gamification in learning can be explained as implementing the gaming elements like the point system, badges, leader boards, awards, and graduating from one level to the other in a non-gaming environment.
The gamification of e-learning just does that by retaining the high in the learning.
Gamification combines the real-world application of the subject matter as to how their choices in the game result in determining the rewards and consequences.
The lack of self-review that is often associated with a traditional learning system that slows the learning process is easily overcome with gamification.
Introducing gamification into a corporate learning system will increase the productivity and awareness of the learner and the overall performance of the organization.
