What are the most effective uses of Gamification in Learning?

Gamification is an extremely effective concept that helps learners retain the maximum amount of information by providing them with audio and visual stimulants, and encouraging them to explore their environment in order to attain rewards. Gamification enables learning at a faster pace in a forgiving environment, which allows for risk-free mistakes. Even if you’re not a gamer, you are likely to be intrigued by the tasks presented in a gamified training course, and this will encourage you to continue exploring.

Recently we created a training course for a client that contained a number of legal terms that employees were struggling to digest. The gamified solution that we provided them with was an island where learners had to explore and complete tasks in order to be able to move to the next part of the game. The legal terms were turned into fun quizzes with visual aids to help learners remember what they had been taught. Finding all the vital information on this island required them to use their own initiative to figure out where to go and what to do next. As they completed the tasks, they were given immediate feedback, which encouraged them to continue to their quest.

Gamification transforms the chore of seemingly tedious training into employee interest and enthusiasm.
