Change by Design Lead Instructional Designer Melissa Lambert recently wrote a three-part guide on what training departments and professionals should keep in mind when using gamification in materials to improve learning outcomes for employees.
* Part 1 (Who Is Your Learner) at http://bit.ly/CBDTCG4LP1 covers key motivators for each type of learner.
** Part 2 (What Is The Game) at http://bit.ly/CBDTCG4LP2 covers the structure and underlying story of effective games for learning.
*** Part 3 (Why Would Someone Want To Play This) at http://bit.ly/CBDTCG4LP3 covers how extrinsic and intrinsic motivation principles should be applied to improve results.
Applying these techniques can help your company better train new employees in important job- or task-related skills. It can also help build greater retention and engagement for longer-tenured employees who draw on a greater wealth of experience. After reading the 3-part guide, please let us know if you have any questions by calling (850) 445-6303 or emailing ebbers@changebydesign.us for more information on this approach.
