The document discusses gamification in e-learning and what techniques were tested by the College of Policing. It tested five game techniques (avatar, levels, leaderboard, mystery, scaffold) on 500 officers using a randomized control trial with a two minute video clip. The officers provided feedback on their views of the clips and motivations for learning. The clip featuring the mystery technique received the most positive feedback so it was developed into a full e-learning package. The College of Policing is now using gamification and immersive e-learning to engage officers in training.

Five promising game techniques:
- Avatar
- Levels
- Leaderboard
- Mystery
- Scaffold
• Randomised control trial used and a two minute clip of one vignette sent to
500 officers.
• Survey collected officers views about the clip and motivations for learning.
• Clip with most positive feedback developed into full e-learning package.
