- 6. 6 Gamification • Buzzword in every organization • Questions in everyone’s mind • Starting place - where to start, how to incorporate • Right choice - what to Gamify, when to Gamify and how to Gamify • Should I start implementing hoping to get some metrics to prove that it works
- 7. 7 Types of Gamification • Structural Gamification • Game-Based Learning • Content Gamification
- 9. 9 What is Structural Gamification • Application of game elements to propel learners through content • No changes needed to learning content • Typical game elements • Rewards, PBLs (Points, Badges & Leaderboard) • PBL applied to • Learning participation - registrations, completions • Social participation - rating, discussions, forums, sharing • When to apply? • Creating organizational learning culture • Changing learning culture • From “push" (forced to learn) to “pull" (motivated to learn) • Improve learning adoption in a group or business unit or geo
- 10. 10 How to Use Structural Gamification • Reward participation, progress and social involvement • Develop professional mastery • Unlock advanced content • Achieve/enhance status • Results publicly visible • Extrinsic motivation • Currency to obtain physical goods or travel
- 11. 11 Leaderboards Real life example: Video Arcade Games
- 13. 13 Use Case - Motivating through Rewards & Redemption Who • Large technology retail store chain • Large number of sales associates and high turnover rates • Large volume of technology products sold What they needed to do • Community building + knowledge sharing within learning environment • Network of mentors, subject matter experts, store leaders and vendors How • Built rewards and redemption program to • Create healthy competition among associates; more engaged in learning; be prepared to answer any type of customer questions • Keep busy during lean hours/downtime; watching product videos, contributing to discussion threads, completing required training on time • Rewards - Earn points and redeem for fun/valued items
- 15. 15 Game-Based Learning • Course/learning intervention designed as a game experience • Animations, video capture • Learners feel they are just playing a game, but at the end have completed a training module • As game progresses, level of question complexity changes so participants can master subject/concept • Highest adoption rate because path is clear: • New technologies lower barriers and costs • Design/development skills readily available
- 16. 16 Learning Through Animated Content Real life example: Airline safety videos
- 18. 18 Content Gamification • Learning by applying game elements: • Goals, mission, objectives, challenges and role play • Focus: Improving knowledge gain and increasing knowledge retention • Fosters team building • Adoption not yet widespread because: • Relatively high cost, lack of available skills • Need management buy-in
- 19. 19 Setting Game Goals and Results • Goal provides a method of measuring quality of gamified interactions • Should be clear and visible – figuratively and literally • Build-in success and failure scenarios • Success – Easily understood and final goal • Failure – Explore what it means – valued approach • Players enjoy failures in a game • Or at least use them to progress • Idea of failure is part of game ethos • No one expects to successfully navigate and win the first time • People do expect to fail; often look forward to lessons learned during failure recovery process
