Summary
Due to its effectiveness in producing greater learner engagement and better overall learning outcomes, over the past decade or so there's been tremendous interest in game-based learning.
Learners can share what they learn with friends and family via Facebook, Twitter, etc.
According to researchers, although the use of social media features don't resemble actual games, their use in gamified learning taps into the same "Psychological and phenomenological properties with gaming." eLearning content developers can thus tap into those similarities, to leverage social networking, to persuade learners to better engage with social learning content.
Regardless of the type of learning intervention implemented, instructors and learners both benefit a lot from comments, critiques, and observations from each other.
If you're using gamification techniques in your eLearning courses, make sure to provide feedback to your learners.
The best practice also dictates that providing additional, more extensive feedback-such as specific deficiencies and/or strengths-can help learners to better understand critical concepts from within the gamified learning content.
While gamifying a particularly "Dry" subject can "Spice" it up and make it more fun for the learner, it also helps the learners develop real-world skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, team collaboration, and social engagement.
