Summary
Although the practice of including game-like elements in learning programs is new to some, gamification has a long history of use as an effective tool for engaging people.
Gamification makes learning more exciting, interactive, and ultimately more productive.
Active learning techniques like these have been found to improve learner retention and understanding.
Cisco's Social Media Training Program included such a progression through the learning journey.
Earning badges Another way to include gamification in corporate training is through the use of badges that represent various learner achievements.
Plus, some studies have found it to be more effective than traditional training at helping learners develop technical and socio-emotional skills.
Training includes everything from a module called "The Pickup Tower" where associates learn how to operate a kiosk for picking up online orders, to modules on active shooter training.
