What Should You NOT Do When Using Gamification

What it's about
Key chapters
-
Do Not Push Ineffective Training
Gamification can motivate people to engage with your content, but they will quickly lose interest if they aren't learning or feel like you are wasting their time.
-
Do Not Drive Unsustainable Productivity
Points, streaks, and leaderboards can manipulate people into working (or training) beyond their limits. This may lead to some short-term gains, but in the long run, it results in mistakes and burnout.
-
Do Not Prioritize Speed Over Quality
Timed games can drive people to complete things faster, but true performance improvement takes time. You do not want people to simply click through an eLearning course without really learning anything or keep making the same mistakes on the job because they’re moving too fast.
