Summary
Gamification of training materials can be a helpful method in the business world for upgrading and updating employees' abilities.
Disseminating training online is also a more efficient approach for a company to reach many employees at once.
One of the first steps in arranging corporate training should be the development of objectives.
Consider the following factors: what skills or information could employees hope to gain by the end of the game? Is there an overarching theme that will underpin and drive all game activity? In summary, every task that an employee undertakes should assist them in achieving identified and meaningful goals.
Will the data be useful in advancing employees' abilities and assisting the organization in meeting its objectives? Will it allow employees to tailor their training to the areas where they believe it is most needed? Is the data gathered only for the purpose of gathering data? The latter is equivalent to forcing employees to watch dull corporate-produced videos only to pretend the material has been disseminated.
Gamification of content can effectively engage employees during corporate training if applied intelligently.
Ideally, content gaming should be enjoyable for both employees and those delivering training while also allowing valuable data collection and adaptive learning.
