What role should games, simulations and gamification play in learning design and delivery?
Games, gamification and game-based learning have entered into the vocabulary of trainers, elearning developers and instructional designers in the past few years. While the use of games for learning seems like a good match, questions arise.
- How should games be integrated into the curriculum?
- Can attitudes and behavior change result from playing a game?
- What elements of games can learning designers borrow from game designers?
The answer to these questions can be found in the research on game-based learning.
Presentation Description:
This interactive presentation includes many examples of using game-based learning and gamification for performance improvement and highlights how organizations have used games to achieve learning success. And, yes, you will play a game at this presentation. Discover how research-based practices fit in with today's fast-paced need for quick, effective instruction.
In this keynote, we will discuss:
- How to apply game-based strategies to the presentation of learning content.
- Three principles for adding gamification and game-ideas to learning curriculums.
- Four motivational aspects of games that improve learning recall and application.
- Six ways gamification impacts learning design and development.
Panel Discussion and Q&A:
