Gamification
To be meaningful, interactions in eLearning must reinforce key learning objectives and help learners recall, if not apply, what they learn. That doesn’t mean they can’t be a little fun, too. Games and gamification elements (e.g., challenges, points, progress bars) are an excellent way to interact with learners without becoming “edutainment.” The following samples show some of the activities we bring to custom course development work. Each can easily be rebranded to match your organization’s colors and themes. Don’t see something you like? We can build something from scratch, too.
