Overview

Gamification is often misunderstood, it is in fact 75% psychology and 25% technology. During these 2 days’ course, delegates will learn how to deploy a gamification strategy in learning and talent development programs using a proven 5-step process that takes you from design concept through implementation. It’s like getting a Gold Star for a Good Job… only Better!

This program is for learning professionals who want to create and deliver programs with impact. Whether you are a trainer, instructional designer, or organizational development professional, if you are interested in making sure what you design or facilitate is focused on what matters, that your participants are engaged throughout the process, and that when they leave they are able and willing to do what it takes to apply what they have learned and experienced back at work effectively, this program is for you. No coding skills are required.

In this hands-on and interactive program, you will learn the 5-step process of gamifying a learning or talent development program. Add the word “challenge” to any activity, and watch people become intrigued. In this hands-on, interactive session, you’ll experience first-hand how gamification design is used to create change within organizations.

You will use an L&D case study, tactical templates, and gamification strategy playing cards as you gather data and participate in creativity, problem-solving, and assessment activities. The goal is to increase learning and engagement through key concepts found in game design and behavioural psychology.

Learn how to use the Game the System™ Learning Map to chart your knowledge progress.
