  • Thiagi - Games and Gamification Part 1

    Most people are confused about different terms associated with games and gamification. If you are one of them, you are likely to confuse your clients, participants, and audience members. Untangle the terminology so you can clearly communicate what you do and what you can do for others.

    This week Thiagi and Monica will discuss how to:

    • Avoid confusion and misunderstanding when talking about games and gamification to your clients and participants.
    • Confidently differentiate between games and gamification and among different types of games and different types of gamification.
    • Specify different elements of games and different elements of gamification. Select the most appropriate elements to achieve a specific goal.
    • Clearly compare and contrast game design and gamification design. Identify the important similarities and differences between these two strategies.

    • Storytelling.... Do You Really Want This Much Emotion in the Workplace?

      The gamification of learning is more than just building games into learning. It is a systematic process of using strategies that are based on the principles of good game design. A well-designed and well-implemented training and development program promotes engagement, meaning, mastery, and autonomy.

      And that is what this program is about today –

      Training should not be just about delivering facts. Studies show that learners comprehend and retain more through stories. Storytelling in training allows us to connect to the learner on an emotional level.

      You don’t have to start with a blank page. Use one of the story writing models in the The Gamification Starter Kit - Level 2 is a FREE Sample Lesson, a public domain story, or try Rory’s Story Cubes for a whole new twist on story writing.

      Let’s play!
