Description: Gamification is no longer a buzzword. And definitely far from child’s play, learning professionals & educators should not underestimate the benefits of gamification in training and education. Infusing gameplay and leveraging competitiveness not only makes your corporate training more dynamic it can also significantly increase learner engagement too towards learning goals and overall learning progress by learners.
In this 2 hour session, we will examine some foundational concepts on gamification of education and the “alchemist” framework in applying educational gamification.
The alchemist framework is a thought process and a starting ground for learning designers to have a solid structure towards building a gamified learning system.
By the end of is session, learners will be able to:
– Recall on learner cognition & goals
– Define the difference between games & gamification
– Describe the MDA framework
– List the 5 main alchemist pillars of design
– Interpret the alchemy process for gamification of learning
